Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him-a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations: you have established the earth, and it stands fast.

Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free.
