Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

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.

Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Hope does not disappoint.
