highlighted Colossians 3:12-15 NLT
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

highlighted Colossians 3:1-11 NLT
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like him. In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us. Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory. So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world. Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming. You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.

highlighted 1 Samuel 18:9-30 NLT
The very next day a tormenting spirit from God overwhelmed Saul, and he began to rave in his house like a madman. David was playing the harp, as he did each day. But Saul had a spear in his hand, and he suddenly hurled it at David, intending to pin him to the wall. But David escaped him twice. Saul was then afraid of David, for the LORD was with David and had turned away from Saul. Finally, Saul sent him away and appointed him commander over 1,000 men, and David faithfully led his troops into battle. David continued to succeed in everything he did, for the LORD was with him. When Saul recognized this, he became even more afraid of him. But all Israel and Judah loved David because he was so successful at leading his troops into battle. One day Saul said to David, “I am ready to give you my older daughter, Merab, as your wife. But first you must prove yourself to be a real warrior by fighting the LORD’s battles.” For Saul thought, “I’ll send him out against the Philistines and let them kill him rather than doing it myself.” “Who am I, and what is my family in Israel that I should be the king’s son-in-law?” David exclaimed. “My father’s family is nothing!” So when the time came for Saul to give his daughter Merab in marriage to David, he gave her instead to Adriel, a man from Meholah. In the meantime, Saul’s daughter Michal had fallen in love with David, and Saul was delighted when he heard about it. “Here’s another chance to see him killed by the Philistines!” Saul said to himself. But to David he said, “Today you have a second chance to become my son-in-law!” Then Saul told his men to say to David, “The king really likes you, and so do we. Why don’t you accept the king’s offer and become his son-in-law?” When Saul’s men said these things to David, he replied, “How can a poor man from a humble family afford the bride price for the daughter of a king?” When Saul’s men reported this back to the king, he told them, “Tell David that all I want for the bride price is 100 Philistine foreskins! Vengeance on my enemies is all I really want.” But what Saul had in mind was that David would be killed in the fight. David was delighted to accept the offer. Before the time limit expired, he and his men went out and killed 200 Philistines. Then David fulfilled the king’s requirement by presenting all their foreskins to him. So Saul gave his daughter Michal to David to be his wife. When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and how much his daughter Michal loved him, Saul became even more afraid of him, and he remained David’s enemy for the rest of his life. Every time the commanders of the Philistines attacked, David was more successful against them than all the rest of Saul’s officers. So David’s name became very famous. So from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David.

“All right,” Saul said. “Find me someone who plays well, and bring him here.” One of the servants said to Saul, “One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the LORD is with him.” So Saul sent messengers to Jesse to say, “Send me your son David, the shepherd.” Jesse responded by sending David to Saul, along with a young goat, a donkey loaded with bread, and a wineskin full of wine. So David went to Saul and began serving him. Saul loved David very much, and David became his armor bearer. Then Saul sent word to Jesse asking, “Please let David remain in my service, for I am very pleased with him.” And whenever the tormenting spirit from God troubled Saul, David would play the harp. Then Saul would feel better, and the tormenting spirit would go away.

(David took the Philistine’s head to Jerusalem, but he stored the man’s armor in his own tent.) As Saul watched David go out to fight the Philistine, he asked Abner, the commander of his army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” “I really don’t know,” Abner declared. “Well, find out who he is!” the king told him. As soon as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner brought him to Saul with the Philistine’s head still in his hand. “Tell me about your father, young man,” Saul said. And David replied, “His name is Jesse, and we live in Bethlehem.”

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let athis cup pass from Me; byet not as I will, but as You will."And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not akeep watch with Me for one hour?"aKeep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; bthe spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this acannot pass away unless I drink it, bYour will be done."Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, athe hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners."Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

If I speak with the atongues of men and of bangels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a cclanging cymbal.If I have the gift of aprophecy, and know all bmysteries and all cknowledge; and if I have dall faith, so as to eremove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.And if I agive all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I bsurrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.Love ais patient, love is kind and bis not jealous; love does not brag and is not carrogant,does not act unbecomingly; it adoes not seek its own, is not provoked, bdoes not take into account a wrong suffered,adoes not rejoice in unrighteousness, but brejoices with the truth;abears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never fails; but if there are gifts of aprophecy, they will be done away; if there are btongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

having been filled with the afruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances ahave turned out for the greater progress of the bgospel,so that my aimprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to beveryone else,and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my aimprisonment, have bfar more courage to speak the word of God without fear.aSome, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the agospel;the former proclaim Christ aout of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my bimprisonment.What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice.for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance athrough your prayers and the provision of bthe Spirit of Jesus Christ,according to my aearnest expectation and bhope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with call boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be dexalted in my body, ewhether by life or by death.For to me, ato live is Christ and to die is gain.But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean afruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the adesire to depart and bbe with Christ, for that is very much better;yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.aConvinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,so that your aproud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.Only conduct yourselves in a manner aworthy of the bgospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are cstanding firm in done spirit, with one mind estriving together for the faith of the gospel;in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a asign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.For to you ait has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to bsuffer for His sake,experiencing the same aconflict which byou saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
