The LORD give his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace. 1 But there is no peace for the wicked. 2
Letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. 3 Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. 4 Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 5
Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me – everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. 6
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 7
I pray that God will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. 8 For the Kingdom of God is goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 9 May the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. 10
