For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship.
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone, the new has come!
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live in faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
