So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.

For "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever." And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
