Rooted

If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

It will be planted on the high mountain of Israel: it will put out branches and have fruit and be a fair cedar: under it all birds of every sort will make their living-place, resting in the shade of its branches.

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

So that Christ may have his place in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and based in love,

These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

Built

Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

For we are workers with God: you are God's planting, God's building.

Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

But you, my loved ones, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, and making prayers in the Holy Spirit,

Stablished

Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

Now he who makes our faith strong together with you, in Christ, and has given us of his grace, is God;

Give you comfort and strength in every good work and word.

And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

For this reason, my loved ones, having knowledge of these things before they take place, take care that you are not turned away by the error of the uncontrolled, so falling from your true faith.

Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to give you a place in his glory, free from all evil, with great joy,

With

Giving praise to the Father who has given us a part in the heritage of the saints in light;

And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.
