…because we are his children,

God has sent the Spirit of his Son

into our hearts,

prompting us to cry out,

“Abba, Father.”

Galatians 4:6

…it is clear

that no one can be made right with God

by trying to keep the law.

For the Scriptures say,

“It is through faith

that a righteous person has life.”

Galatians 3:11

You received the Spirit

because you believed the message

you heard about Christ.

How foolish can you be?

After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit,

why are you now trying to become perfect

by your own human effort?

Galatians 3:2-3

…we know that a person is made right with God

by faith in Jesus Christ,

not by obeying the law…

for no one will ever be made right with God

by obeying the law.

Galatians 2:16

…God has no favorites.

Galatians 2:6

Jesus gave his life for our sins,

just as God had planned,

in order to rescue us

from this evil world in which we live.

Galatians 1:4

…Be joyful.

Grow to maturity.

Encourage each other.

Live in harmony and peace.

Then the God of love and peace will be with you.

2 Corinthians 13:11

You must each decide in your heart

how much to give.

And don’t give reluctantly

or in response to pressure.

“For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”

2 Corinthians 9:7

Remember this—

a farmer who plants only a few seeds

will get a small crop.

But the one who plants generously

will get a generous crop.

2 Corinthians 9:6

…we are the temple of the living God.

As God said:

“I will live in them

and walk among them.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

2 Corinthians 6:16
