- See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
- It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God.
- For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.
- There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end it leads to death. - We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

- So that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed.
- This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.Next verse!With image
