| For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. | For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. |
| He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time. | Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began. |
Bible verse of the day
A fool spurns a parent’s discipline,but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
