Laying Down Life

If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

Anyone who runs ahead without remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. Whoever remains in His teaching has both the Father and the Son. …

…consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

And without faith it is impossible to please God. For anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

…who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
