Christ suffered while he was in his body. So you should strengthen yourselves with the same kind of thinking Christ had. The one who accepts suffering in this life has clearly decided to stop sinning. Strengthen yourselves so that you will live your lives here on earth doing what God wants, not the evil things that people want to do.
1 Peter 4:1-2
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
3 John 1:2
To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
Jude 1:1b-2
“All things are allowed,” you say. But not all things are good. “All things are allowed.” But some things don’t help anyone. Try to do what is good for others, not just what is good for yourselves.
1 Corinthians 10:23-24
Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to pay back each one according to his deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Revelation 22:12-13
You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. Brothers and sisters, let each one—in whatever way he was called—remain that way with God.
1 Corinthians 7:23-24
And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
Acts 2:42-43
But God has a way to make people right, and it has nothing to do with the law. He has now shown us that new way, which the law and the prophets told us about. God makes people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ. Everyone is the same.
Romans 3:21-22
‘God says: In the last days I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will have special dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, men and women, and they will prophesy. I will work wonders in the sky above. I will cause miraculous signs on the earth below...
And everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved.’
Acts 2:17-19a, 21
