- For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
- So that with good courage we say,
“The Lord is my helper. I will not fear.
What can man do to me?” - If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
- Being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
- Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.
- You shall not take advantage of any widow or fatherless child. If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry; and my wrath will grow hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

- For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
- Wicked people earn deceitful wages,
but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward. - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
- When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.
- For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established; that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
- For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh.
- Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,
and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?

because he delights in loving kindness. - Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this: After his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

for they are from old times.
Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Remember me according to your loving kindness,
for your goodness’ sake, Yahweh.
