Luke 15:1-7 NIV15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees andthe teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 Andwhen he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends andneighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the sameway there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteouspersons who do not need to repent.”Psalm 23:4 NIV“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and yourstaff, they comfort me.”Psalm 23:4 NLT“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rodand your staff protect and comfort me.”Ephesians 6:12 NIV“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, againstthe powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
