Philippians 3:15

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things.

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children.

The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘You shall be holy; for I, Yahweh your God, am holy.

“For my people are foolish. They don’t know me. They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but they don’t know how to do good.”

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;

See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

and said, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

Jesus answered him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our home with him.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

For your obedience has become known to all. I rejoice therefore over you. But I desire to have you wise in that which is good, but innocent in that which is evil.

Yet I wish that all men were like me. However each man has his own gift from God, one of this kind, and another of that kind.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.

How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

I made known to them your name, and will make it known; that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them.”

Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some.

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without defect.

Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.

We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world.

This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.

For I am Yahweh your God. Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am holy. You shall not defile yourselves with any kind of creeping thing that moves on the earth.

His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

“Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is also merciful.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don’t find it doing that which is good.

He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

For I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist,

We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown, yet a wisdom not of this world nor of the rulers of this world who are coming to nothing.

And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn’t have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me and loved them, even as you loved me.

having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;

He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.

Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

You shall be blameless with Yahweh your God.
