So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Who saved us and called us yo a holy calling, not because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.

All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;

From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.”

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

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

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call

to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
