Then you will hold on to faith. You will hold on to a good sense of what is right and wrong. Some have not accepted this knowledge of right and wrong. So they have destroyed their faith. They are like a ship that has sunk.

But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful

I remember your honest and true faith. It was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice. And I am certain that it is now alive in you also.

The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Live so that you don’t have to feel you’ve done anything wrong. Some people may say evil things about your good conduct as believers in Christ. If they do, they will be put to shame for speaking like this about you.

My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another in love.The whole law is fulfilled by obeying this one command.“ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”( Leviticus 19:18)

I thank God, whom I serve as did our people of long ago. I serve God, knowing that what I have done is right. Night and day I thank God for you. Night and day I always remember you in my prayers.

Run away from the evil things that young people long for. Try hard to do what is right. Have faith, love and peace. Do these things together with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Make your hearts pure, you who can’t make up your minds.

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become a child of God and knows God.Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.Here is how God showed his love among us. He sent his one and only Son into the world. He sent him so we could receive life through him.Here is what love is. It is not that we loved God. It is that he loved us and sent his Son to give his life to pay for our sins.Dear friends, since God loved us this much, we should also love one another.No one has ever seen God. But if we love one another, God lives in us. His love is made complete in us.Here’s how we know that we are joined to him and he to us. He has given us his Holy Spirit.The Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We have seen it and are witnesses to it.

To people who are pure, all things are pure. But to those who have twisted minds and don’t believe, nothing is pure. In fact, their minds and their sense of what is right and wrong are twisted.

God, create a pure heart in me. Give me a new spirit that is faithful to you.

To godliness, add kindness for one another. And to kindness for one another, add love.

Christ is pure. All who hope to be like him make themselves pure.

So I always try not to do anything wrong in the eyes of God or in the eyes of people.

One of the teachers of the law came and heard the Sadducees arguing. He noticed that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good answer. So he asked him,“ Which is the most important of all the commandments?”Jesus answered,“ Here is the most important one. Moses said,‘ Israel, listen to me. The Lord is our God. The Lord is one.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind and with all your strength.’( Deuteronomy 6:4, 5)And here is the second one.‘ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’( Leviticus 19:18) There is no commandment more important than these.”“ You have spoken well, teacher,” the man replied.“ You are right in saying that God is one. There is no other God but him.To love God with all your heart and mind and strength is very important. So is loving your neighbor as you love yourself. These things are more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely. He said to him,“ You are not far from God’s kingdom.” From then on, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.

Blessed are those whose hearts are pure. They will see God.

They must hold on to the deep truths of the faith. Even their own minds tell them to do that.

Most of all, love one another deeply. Love erases many sins by forgiving them.

Here is what we take pride in. Our sense of what is right and wrong tells us how we have acted. We have lived with honor and godly honesty. We have depended on God’s grace and not on the world’s wisdom. We lived that way most of all when we were dealing with you.

Pay everything you owe. But you can never pay back all the love you owe one another. Whoever loves other people has done everything the law requires.Here are some commandments to think about.“ Do not commit adultery.”“ Do not commit murder.”“ Do not steal.”“ Do not want what belongs to others.”( Exodus 20:13–15, 17; Deuteronomy 5:17–19, 21) These and all other commands are included in one command. Here’s what it is.“ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”( Leviticus 19:18)Love does not harm its neighbor. So love does everything the law requires.

So let us come near to God with a sincere heart. Let us come near boldly because of our faith. Our hearts have been sprinkled. Our minds have been cleansed from a sense of guilt. Our bodies have been washed with pure water.

A good man says good things. These come from the good that is stored up inside him. An evil man says evil things. These come from the evil that is stored up inside him.

Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. Anyone who does not trust in the statue of a god. Anyone who doesn’t use the name of that god when he makes a promise.

You have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. So you have an honest and true love for each other. So love one another deeply, from your hearts.

I speak the truth in Christ. I am not lying. My mind tells me that what I say is true. It is guided by the Holy Spirit.

But Christ offered himself to God without any flaw. He did this through the power of the eternal Holy Spirit. So how much cleaner will the blood of Christ make us! It washes away our feelings of guilt for committing sin. Sin always leads to death. But now we can serve the living God.

Christ has fulfilled everything the law was meant to do. So now everyone who believes can be right with God.

God showed that there is no difference between us and them. That’s because he made their hearts pure because of their faith.

Your brother or sister may be upset by what you eat. If they are, you are no longer acting as though you love them. So don’t destroy them by what you eat. Remember that Christ died for them.

People of Jerusalem, wash your sins from your hearts and be saved. How long will you hold on to your evil thoughts?

Pray for us. We feel sure we have done what is right. We desire to live as we should in every way.

Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin.“ My brothers,” he said,“ I have always done my duty to God. To this day I feel that I have done nothing wrong.”

Circumcision and uncircumcision aren’t worth anything to those who believe in Christ Jesus. The only thing that really counts is faith that shows itself through love.

Enoch had faith. So he was taken from this life. He didn’t die.“ He couldn’t be found, because God had taken him away.”( Genesis 5:24) Before God took him, Enoch was praised as one who pleased God.Without faith it is impossible to please God. Those who come to God must believe that he exists. And they must believe that he rewards those who look to him.

God has commanded us to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ. He has also commanded us to love one another.

Now I want to deal with food sacrificed to statues of gods. We know that“ We all have knowledge.” But knowledge makes people proud, while love builds them up.Those who think they know something still don’t know as they should.But whoever loves God is known by God.

Suppose I speak in the languages of human beings or of angels. If I don’t have love, I am only a loud gong or a noisy cymbal.Suppose I have the gift of prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I don’t have love, I am nothing at all.Suppose I give everything I have to poor people. And suppose I give myself over to a difficult life so I can brag. If I don’t have love, I get nothing at all.Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud.It does not dishonor other people. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs.Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when the truth is spoken.It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up.Love never fails. But prophecy will pass away. Speaking in languages that had not been known before will end. And knowledge will pass away.What we know now is not complete. What we prophesy now is not perfect.But when what is complete comes, the things that are not complete will pass away.When I was a child, I talked like a child. I thought like a child. I had the understanding of a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.Now we see only a dim likeness of things. It is as if we were seeing them in a foggy mirror. But someday we will see clearly. We will see face to face. What I know now is not complete. But someday I will know completely, just as God knows me completely.The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.Follow the way of love. You should also want the gifts the Holy Spirit gives. Most of all, you should want the gift of prophecy.
