Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

You see that people are justified by what they do and not by faith alone.

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness

Have you experienced so much in vain – if it really was in vain?

Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise.

Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance
