For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, Jesus himeself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil.

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own [will], is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice. If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.

And thus I aspire to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named so that I would not build on another man's foundation.

Hope does not disappoint.

Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor- not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
