- Stay on the path that the Lord your God has commanded you to follow. Then you will live long and prosperous lives in the land you are about to enter and occupy.
- And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much!
- Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.
- Do what is good and run from evil
so that you may live!
Then the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies will be your helper,
just as you have claimed. - Seek the Lord, all who are humble,
and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right
and to live humbly.

protect you from his anger on that day of destruction. - So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.

- Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
- Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.
