- Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame.
- Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value,
but righteousness delivers from death. - Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
- No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
- If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.

and has no one to help them up. - Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
- He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
upright and just is he. - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
- You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right.”

There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

is a person who lacks self-control.
May the Lord our God be with us as he was with our ancestors; may he never leave us nor forsake us. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.Next verse!With image
