- Then he said to them all, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”
- You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbor, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted. - For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!”
