For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

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