You are God’s chosen people. You are holy and dearly loved. So put on tender mercy and kindness as if they were your clothes. Don’t be proud. Be gentle and patient.Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.And over all these good things put on love. Love holds them all together perfectly as if they were one.Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful.Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.Do everything you say or do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Always give thanks to God the Father through Christ.

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.

“ I am the vine. You are the branches. If you remain joined to me, and I to you, you will bear a lot of fruit. You can’t do anything without me.

He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.

The light produces what is completely good, right and true.

Always be joyful because you belong to the Lord. I will say it again. Be joyful!Let everyone know how gentle you are. The Lord is coming soon.Don’t worry about anything. No matter what happens, tell God about everything. Ask and pray, and give thanks to him.Then God’s peace will watch over your hearts and your minds. He will do this because you belong to Christ Jesus. God’s peace can never be completely understood.Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.Do what you have learned or received or heard from me. Follow my example. The God who gives peace will be with you.

That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water. It always bears its fruit at the right time. Its leaves don’t dry up. Everything godly people do turns out well.

You did not choose me. Instead, I chose you. I appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit that will last. I also appointed you so that the Father will give you what you ask for. He will give you whatever you ask for in my name.

My brothers and sisters, when Christ died you also died as far as the law is concerned. Then it became possible for you to belong to him. He was raised from the dead. Now our lives can be useful to God.

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.

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.God lives in anyone who agrees that Jesus is the Son of God. This kind of person remains joined to God.So we know that God loves us. We depend on it. God is love. Anyone who leads a life of love is joined to God. And God is joined to them.

The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear the message. But as they go on their way, they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures. So they do not reach full growth.But the seed on good soil stands for those with an honest and good heart. Those people hear the message. They keep it in their hearts. They remain faithful and produce a good crop.

So you should try very hard to add goodness to your faith. To goodness, add knowledge.To knowledge, add the ability to control yourselves. To the ability to control yourselves, add the strength to keep going. To the strength to keep going, add godliness.To godliness, add kindness for one another. And to kindness for one another, add love.All these things should describe you more and more. They will make you useful and fruitful as you know our Lord Jesus Christ better.

“ If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good. If you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad. You can tell a tree by its fruit.

When they get old, they will still bear fruit. Like young trees they will stay fresh and strong.

Love must be honest and true. Hate what is evil. Hold on to what is good.Love one another deeply. Honor others more than yourselves.Stay excited about your faith as you serve the Lord.When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful.Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes.Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not curse them.Be joyful with those who are joyful. Be sad with those who are sad.Agree with one another. Don’t be proud. Be willing to be a friend of people who aren’t considered important. Don’t think that you are better than others.Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right.If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can.

The three most important things to have are faith, hope and love. But the greatest of them is love.

Then you will be able to lead a life that is worthy of the Lord. We pray that you will please him in every way. So we want you to bear fruit in every good thing you do. We pray that you will grow to know God better.

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.

You will be filled with the fruit of right living produced by Jesus Christ. All these things bring glory and praise to God.

So I say, live by the Holy Spirit’s power. Then you will not do what your desires controlled by sin want you to do.The desires controlled by sin do not want what the Spirit delights in. And the Spirit does not want what the desires controlled by sin delight in. The two are at war with each other. That’s why you are not supposed to do whatever you want.But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the authority of the law.

You can tell each tree by its fruit. Do people pick grapes from bushes? Do they pick figs from thorns?In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit. But a bad tree bears bad fruit.A good tree can’t bear bad fruit. And a bad tree can’t bear good fruit.Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down. It is thrown into the fire.You can tell each tree by its fruit.

We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with him because of our Lord Jesus Christ.Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.And that’s not all. We are full of joy even when we suffer. We know that our suffering gives us the strength to go on.The strength to go on produces character. Character produces hope.And hope will never bring us shame. That’s because God’s love has been poured into our hearts. This happened through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

You were taught to be made new in your thinking.You were taught to start living a new life. It is created to be truly good and holy, just as God is.So each of you must get rid of your lying. Speak the truth to your neighbor. We are all parts of one body.Scripture says,“ When you are angry, do not sin.”( Psalm 4:4) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.Don’t give the devil a chance.Anyone who has been stealing must never steal again. Instead, they must work. They must do something useful with their own hands. Then they will have something to give to people in need.Don’t let any evil talk come out of your mouths. Say only what will help to build others up and meet their needs. Then what you say will help those who listen.Do not make God’s Holy Spirit mourn. The Holy Spirit is the proof that you belong to God. And the Spirit is the proof that God will set you completely free.Get rid of all hard feelings, anger and rage. Stop all fighting and lying. Don’t have anything to do with any kind of hatred.Be kind and tender to one another. Forgive one another, just as God forgave you because of what Christ has done.You are the children that God dearly loves. So follow his example.Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet- smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

Even though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not see him now, you believe in him. You are filled with a glorious joy that can’t be put into words.

If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”

Even Christ did not please himself. It is written,“ The bad things people have said about you have been aimed at me also.”( Psalm 69:9)

My brothers and sisters, I am sure that you are full of goodness. You are filled with knowledge and able to teach one another.

Tell the older men that in anything they do, they must not go too far. They must be worthy of respect. They must control themselves. They must have true faith. They must love others. They must not give up.In the same way, teach the older women to lead a holy life. They must not tell lies about others. They must not let wine control them. Instead, they must teach what is good.Then they can advise the younger women to love their husbands and children.The younger women must control themselves and be pure. They must take good care of their homes. They must be kind. They must follow the lead of their husbands. Then no one will be able to speak evil things against God’s word.In the same way, help the young men to control themselves.Do what is good. Set an example for them in everything. When you teach, be honest and serious.No one can question the truth. So teach what is true. Then those who oppose you will be ashamed. That’s because they will have nothing bad to say about us.Teach slaves to obey their masters in everything they do. Tell them to try to please their masters. They must not talk back to them.They must not steal from them. Instead, they must show that they can be trusted completely. Then they will make the teaching about God our Savior appealing in every way.God’s grace has now appeared. By his grace, God offers to save all people.His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and in how you live. Also set an example in how you love and in what you believe. Show the believers how to be pure.

I consider Silas to be a faithful brother. With his help I have written you this short letter. I have written it to encourage you. And I have written to speak the truth about the true grace of God. Remain strong in it.

Jesus died for us. Some will be alive when he comes. Others will be dead. Either way, we will live together with him.So encourage one another with the hope you have. Build each other up. In fact, that’s what you are doing.Brothers and sisters, we ask you to accept the godly leaders who work hard among you. They care for you in the Lord. They correct you.Have a lot of respect for them. Love them because of what they do. Live in peace with one another.Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to warn certain people. These people don’t want to work. Instead, they make trouble. We are also asking you to encourage those who have lost hope. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.Make sure that no one pays back one wrong act with another. Instead, always try to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.Always be joyful.Never stop praying.Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus.Don’t try to stop what the Holy Spirit is doing.Don’t treat prophecies as if they weren’t important.But test all prophecies. Hold on to what is good.Say no to every kind of evil.

We remember you when we pray to our God and Father. Your work is produced by your faith. Your service is the result of your love. Your strength to continue comes from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.Brothers and sisters, you are loved by God. We know that he has chosen you.Our good news didn’t come to you only in words. It came with power. It came with the Holy Spirit’s help. He gave us complete faith in what we were preaching. You know how we lived among you for your good.We and the Lord were your examples. You followed us. You welcomed our message even when you were suffering terribly. You welcomed it with the joy the Holy Spirit gives.So you became a model to all the believers in the lands of Macedonia and Achaia.The Lord’s message rang out from you. That was true not only in Macedonia and Achaia. Your faith in God has also become known everywhere. So we don’t have to say anything about it.The believers themselves report the kind of welcome you gave us. They tell about how you turned away from statues of gods. And you turned to serve the living and true God.They tell about how you are waiting for his Son to come from heaven. God raised him from the dead. He is Jesus. He saves us from God’s anger, and his anger is sure to come.

You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life.

Ephraim will have nothing more to do with other gods. I will answer the prayers of my people. I will take good care of them. I will be like a healthy juniper tree to them. All the fruit they bear will come from me.”

In the same way, the women must be worthy of respect. They must not say things that harm others. In anything they do, they must not go too far. They must be worthy of trust in everything.

And pray that we will be saved from sinful and evil people. Not everyone is a believer.
