- Who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross. - When Jesus heard this, he replied, “Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be saved.”

Do not forsake the work of your hands. - When you make a vow to God, do not delay fulfilling it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Fulfill what you vow.
