Michael's favorite scripture

1 Corinthians 13 (CSB) "If I speak human or angelic tongues&nbsp;but do not have love,&nbsp;I am a noisy gong&nbsp;or a clanging cymbal.&nbsp;2&nbsp;If I have the gift of prophecy&nbsp;and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains&nbsp;but do not have love, I am nothing.&nbsp;3&nbsp;And if I give away all my possessions, and if I give over my body in order to boast&nbsp;but do not have love, I gain nothing.4&nbsp;Love is patient,&nbsp;love is kind. Love does not envy,&nbsp;is not boastful, is not arrogant,&nbsp;5&nbsp;is not rude, is not self-seeking,&nbsp;is not irritable,&nbsp;and does not keep a record of wrongs.&nbsp;6&nbsp;Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.&nbsp;7&nbsp;It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures&nbsp;all things.8&nbsp;Love never ends.&nbsp;But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.&nbsp;9&nbsp;For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,&nbsp;10&nbsp;but when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.&nbsp;11&nbsp;When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.&nbsp;12&nbsp;For now we see only a reflection&nbsp;as in a mirror, but then face to face.&nbsp;Now I know in part, but then I will know fully,&nbsp;as I am fully known.&nbsp;13&nbsp;Now these three remain: faith, hope,&nbsp;and love—but the greatest of these is love."

Jayla's favorite Scripture

Romans 12 (CSB) "Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you&nbsp;to present your bodies as a living sacrifice,&nbsp;holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.&nbsp;2&nbsp;Do not be conformed&nbsp;to this age,&nbsp;but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,&nbsp;so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will&nbsp;of God. Many Gifts but One Body3&nbsp;For by the grace&nbsp;given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think.&nbsp;Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith&nbsp;to each one.&nbsp;4&nbsp;Now as we have many parts in one body,&nbsp;and all the parts do not have the same function,&nbsp;5&nbsp;in the same way we who are many&nbsp;are one body in Christ&nbsp;and individually members of one another.&nbsp;6&nbsp;According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts:&nbsp;If prophecy,&nbsp;use it according to the proportion of one’s faith;&nbsp;7&nbsp;if service,&nbsp;use it in service; if teaching,&nbsp;in teaching;&nbsp;8&nbsp;if exhorting,&nbsp;in exhortation; giving, with generosity;&nbsp;leading,&nbsp;with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness. Christian Ethics9&nbsp;Let love be without hypocrisy.&nbsp;Detest evil;&nbsp;cling to what is good.&nbsp;10&nbsp;Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters.&nbsp;Take the lead in honoring one another.&nbsp;11&nbsp;Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit;[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%2012&amp;version=CSB#fen-CSB-28242c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">c</a>]&nbsp;serve the Lord.&nbsp;12&nbsp;Rejoice in hope;&nbsp;be patient in affliction;&nbsp;be persistent in prayer.&nbsp;13&nbsp;Share with the saints in their needs;&nbsp;pursue hospitality.&nbsp;14&nbsp;Bless those who persecute you;&nbsp;bless and do not curse.&nbsp;15&nbsp;Rejoice with those who rejoice;&nbsp;weep with those who weep.&nbsp;16&nbsp;Live in harmony with one another.&nbsp;Do not be proud;&nbsp;instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.&nbsp;17&nbsp;Do not repay anyone evil for evil.&nbsp;Give careful thought to do what is honorable&nbsp;in everyone’s eyes.&nbsp;18&nbsp;If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.&nbsp;19&nbsp;Friends, do not avenge yourselves; instead, leave room for God’s wrath, because it is written,&nbsp;Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay,&nbsp;says the Lord.&nbsp;20&nbsp;But if your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him something to drink. For in so doing you will be heaping fiery coals on his head.21&nbsp;Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good."
