Goodness

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your Goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your Goodness’ sake, O Lord.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness.

O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.”

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart— These, O God, You will not despise.

What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.

Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.

Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”

The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.

Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.

Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

That I may come to you with joy by the will of God, and may be refreshed together with you.

All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

But God has revealed _them_ to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit _be_ with you all. Amen.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness _comes_ through the law, then Christ died in vain.

And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

As free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke _as they were_ moved by the Holy Spirit.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
