2 Timothy 2:22

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

In all things be showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, be showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
