- Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it.

I’ll share my heart with you

you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you. - Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
