- Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
- For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
- May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.
- Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
- May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- So that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed.
Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
