- Does God give you the Spirit and work mighty deeds among you because you have kept the Law or because you believed what you have heard?
- Jesus said,
“Amen, amen, I say to you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit.” - The one who sows in his flesh will reap a harvest of corruption, but the one who sows in the Spirit will reap from the Spirit the reward of eternal life.

- To him who in all things is able
through the power
that is at work within us
to accomplish abundantly far more
than all we can ask or imagine,
to him be glory in the Church
and in Christ Jesus
through all generations,
forever and ever. Amen. - If you would seriously consider my reproof,

because he has anointed me
to bring the good news to the poor.

that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh

about whose coming you have been told,
and that it is already in the world. - When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
- He cried out, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” And with these words he breathed his last.
- Those who live according to the flesh fix their attention on the things of the flesh, while those who live according to the Spirit set their thoughts on spiritual things.
- For they said to you, “In the final age there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly passions.” It is these people who create divisions, who follow their natural instincts and do not possess the Spirit.
