Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Modesty is the key to success

If God is for us, who can be against us?

We were by nature children of wrath, even as others.

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.

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

Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel.
