In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
