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

For he who has died has been freed from sin...14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

In everything give thanks

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Your teaching must have the integrity of serious, sound words to which no one can take exception. If it does, no opponent will be able to find anything bad to say about us, and hostility will yield to shame.

Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.
