For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
