6. Bonus
(NIV)
If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.

10. 9
(NIV)
Justification by Grace through Faith in the death and resurrection of Christ is the only means of salvation (Matthew one: twenty-one; Acts four: twelve). Sinners are not saved through any of their own merit or works, but good works are an evidence of salvation (Galatians three: eleven to fourteen; Ephesians two: four to ten; Philippians two: twelve to thirteen; Titus three: four to seven). Christ who knew no sin became sin so that those who believe in Him may be declared righteous by the Father (Romans three: twenty-one to twenty-four; second Corinthians five: twenty-one). Those who have been justified by grace through faith are eternally secure in Christ (John five: twenty-four; ten: twenty-eight to thirty), since they have been given the seal of the Holy Spirit to guarantee their day of redemption (Ephesians one: thirteen to fourteen).
