^8 (A)This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may ^[a]be careful to do according to all that is written in it; ^(B)for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will ^[b]have success.

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

Nun.

²⁸ And we know that ^[a]God causes ^(A)all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are ^(B)called according to His purpose.

² And do not ^(A)be conformed to ^(B)this ^[a]world, but be transformed by the ^(C)renewing of your mind, so that you may ^[b](D)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and ^[c]acceptable and perfect.

⁶ For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until ^(A)the day of Christ Jesus.

^16 (A)Rejoice always; ^17 (B)pray without ceasing; ¹⁸ in everything ^(C)give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

²³ Now ^(A)may the God of peace ^(B)Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your ^(C)spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, ^(D)without blame at ^(E)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^24 (F)Faithful is He who ^(G)calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

^16 (A)All Scripture is ^[a]inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for ^[b]training in righteousness; ¹⁷ so that ^(B)the man of God may be adequate, ^(C)equipped for every good work.
