Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;    his love endures forever. Let Israel say:    “His love endures forever.”Let the house of Aaron say:    “His love endures forever.”Let those who fear the Lord say:    “His love endures forever.” When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord;    he brought me into a spacious place.The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid.    What can mere mortals do to me?The Lord is with me; he is my helper.    I look in triumph on my enemies. It is better to take refuge in the Lord    than to trust in humans.It is…

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.  For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
