- And do everything with love.
- I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God. But someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not worthy even to be his slave and carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
- He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection. - I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. - Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!
- Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
- Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.
- But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me.”
- I didn’t know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’
- What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
‘How clumsy can you be?’ - Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.
- Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.
- So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.
- With their words, the godless destroy their friends,
but knowledge will rescue the righteous. - For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory. - The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. - I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.
- And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.
- The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
- Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
- Good comes to those who lend money generously
and conduct their business fairly. - Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
- Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
- The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich,
and he adds no sorrow with it.
