- Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.
- So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
- And do everything with love.
- So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.
- Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
- Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
- All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
- Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.
- Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
- Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”
- For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.
- For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified.
- For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.
- Just as everyone dies because we all belong to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life.
- But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
- So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
- Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
- But because there is so much sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.
- But it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets.
- Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
- So you see, just as death came into the world through a man, now the resurrection from the dead has begun through another man.
- No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
- God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
- God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
- That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
