- Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
- But I punish my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.

still less is false speech to a ruler.
A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?Next verse!With image
