Scripture to pray with
“And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.”
“And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.”
