the world, and all who live in it. - And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
- For this is what the high and exalted One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
“I live in a high and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.” - The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned. - Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

Fear God and keep his commandments,

who walk according to the law of the Lord. - I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

- We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
- Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

are like a day that has just gone by,
or like a watch in the night. - See, the enemy is puffed up;
his desires are not upright—
