- Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
- Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
