- Whoever possesses the Son
possesses life;
whoever does not possess the Son of God
does not possess life. - Hence, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
- As servants of God, behave as free people, but do not use your freedom as a means to cover up wrongdoing.
- Such hope will not be doomed to disappointment, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
- Dearly beloved, never seek revenge. Leave that to the time of retribution. For it is written, “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord. I will repay.”
- Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;
whoever does not believe in the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God rests upon him. - And just as no human being comprehends any person’s innermost being except the person’s own spirit within him, so also no one comprehends what pertains to God except the Spirit of God.
- How wonderful and delightful it is
for brothers to live together in unity. - But you are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people claimed by God as his own possession,” so that you may proclaim the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
- Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? You have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.
- Cure the sick who are there, and say, ‘The kingdom of God has come unto you.’
- However, you, dear friends, must build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in the love of God as you await our Lord Jesus Christ in his mercy, who will grant you eternal life.
- Rejoice always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
- In that way, I can come to you in joy, if God so wills, and be refreshed together with you.
- And the world with all its enticements
is passing away,
but whoever does the will of God
abides forever. - Indeed, fornication and impurity of any kind, as well as greed, should not even be mentioned among you. Such talk is not fitting for saints.
- Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.
- If anyone is rich in worldly possessions
and sees a brother in need
but refuses to open his heart,
how can the love of God abide in him? - All those who keep his commandments abide in him,
and he abides in them.
And the proof that he abides in us
is the Spirit that he has given us. - Jesus replied,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.” - The time of fulfillment has arrived, and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.
- God created mankind in his image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them.
- Rather, seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
but whoever does not believe in him
already stands condemned,
because he has not believed in the name
of the only-begotten Son of God. - However, the gift is not like the transgression. For if the transgression of one man led to the death of the many, how much greater was the overflowing effect of the grace of God and the gift of the one man Jesus Christ that has abounded for the many.
However, to those who did accept him
and who believed in his name
he granted the power to become children of God.Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Even though I wander
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are at my side,
with your rod and your staff
that comfort me.Next verse!With image
