- As for you, my child, take strength from the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
- This saying can be trusted:
If we have died with him,
we shall also live with him. - Make every effort to present yourself before God as one who is worthy of his approval, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, but who imparts the word of truth without any alteration.
- Turn away from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord with a pure heart.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not consider yourself to be better than others, but associate with the lowly, and never be conceited.
