John 13:34
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.
and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you.
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
