When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

. . . let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

He personally carried the load of our sins in his body when he died on the cross.

pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Faith

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

...a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,

No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

"...you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me...”

...there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few.

...and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. . .

Faith

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.

...be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

...count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

"...Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?”...

And to man He said,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.’”

...happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

...“I am the way, the truth, and the life. ...

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

“If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

"...blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

...men always ought to pray and not lose heart,

"You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve."

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

...“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

" ...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,
And He turn away His wrath from him.

Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . . .

For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

...do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Why all this stress on behavior? Because, as I think you have realized the present time is of the highest importance -- it is time to wake up to reality. Every day brings God's salvation nearer than the day in which we took the first step of faith.
The night is nearly over, the day has almost dawned. Let us therefore fling away the things that men do in the dark, let us arm ourselves for the fight of the day! Let us live cleanly, as in the daylight, not in the delights of getting drunk or playing with sex, nor yet in quarreling or jealousies. Let us be Christ's men from head to foot, and give no chance to the flesh to have it's fling.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

...do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
