Your Word Has Revived Me And Given Me Life

 

"This is my

 comfort

 and

 consolation

 in my

 affliction:

that Your Word

 has

 revived me

 and

 given me life.

(Psalm 119:50)

"For whatever

 was thus written

in former days

was written for

 our instruction,

that by our steadfast

and patient 

endurance

and the

 encouragement

drawn from the

 Scriptures

we might hold

 fast

and

 cherish 

hope.

Now may

 the God

Who gives

 the power

of patient

 endurance

and Who

 supplies 

encouragement,

grant you

 to live

in such

 mutual harmony

and such

 full sympathy

with one another,

in accord with

Christ Jesus.

That together 

you may

with united 

hearts 

and one voice

glorify

 and 

praise

the God

 and Father

of our Lord

Jesus Christ 

the Messiah.

Welcome

 and receive

to your hearts

one another, then,

even as Christ

has welcomed

 and

 received you

 for the

glory of God."

(Romans 15:4-7)
