…experience the joy of your faith.

…live as citizens of heaven,

conducting yourselves in a manner worthy

of the Good News about Christ.

Philippinas 1:25, 27

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed,

but that I will continue to be bold for Christ,

as I have been in the past.

And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ,

whether I life or die.

For to me, 

living means living for Christ,

and dying is even better. 

Philippians 1:20-21

Peace be with you,

dear brothers and sisters,

and may God the Father

and the Lord Jesus Christ

give you love with faithfulness.

May God’s grace be eternally upon all

who love our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 6:23-24

\Pray in the Spirit at all times

and on every occasion.

Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers

for all believers everywhere.

Ephesians 6:18

A final word:

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

Put on all of God’s armor

so that you will be able to stand firm

against all strategies of the devil.

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies,

but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,

against mighty powers in this dark world,

and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Ephesians 6:10-12

But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret.

We will not all die, 

but we will all be transformed!

It will happen in a moment,

in the blink of an eye,

when the last trumpet is blown.

For when the trumpet sounds,

those who have died will be raised to live forever.

And we who are living will also be transformed.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom

and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable his judgments,

and his paths beyond tracing out!

“Who has known the mind of the Lord?

Or who has been his counselor?

Who has ever given to God,

that God should repay him?”

Romans 11:33-35

The man who had been freed from the demons

begged to go with him.

But Jesus sent him home, saying,

“No, go back to your family,

and tell them everything God has done for you.”

So he went all through the town

proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.

Luke 8:38-39

Live a life filled with love,

following the example of Christ.

He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us,

a pleasing aroma to God.

Let there be no sexual immorality,

impurity, or greed among you.

Such sins have no place among God’s people.

Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—

these are not for you.

Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.

Ephesians 5:2-4

Don’t use foul or abusive language.

Let everything you say be good and helpful,

so that your words will be an encouragement

to those who hear them.

Get rid of all bitterness, 

rage, anger, harsh words, and slander,

as well as all types of evil behavior.

Instead, be kind to each other,

tenderhearted,

forgiving one another,

just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:29, 31-32
