- Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
- The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God endures forever. - Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God.
- You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

- Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?

he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. - The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.

- Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’
- For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
