Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

You must not make any cuts in your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out. He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

And Job took a piece of broken pottery to scrape himself as he sat among the ashes.

For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.

The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.

the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;

I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness. What fruit did you reap at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? The outcome of those things is death.

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And this man was blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil.

What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
