Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again rejoice!
Jesus replied, “The most important commandment
is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the
one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord
your God with all your heart,
all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.
The second is equally important:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
No other commandment is greater than these.”
Mark 12:29-31
In the same way,
you wives must accept the authority of your husbands.
Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News,
your godly lives will speak to them without any words.
They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives.

Matthew 18:21-22
So be careful how you live.
Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand
what the Lord wants you to do.
Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life.
Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
singing psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs among yourselves,
and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
And give thanks for everything to
God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5: 15-20
For the Lord’s sake,
submit to all human authority
whether the king as head of state,
or the officials he has appointed.
For the king has sent them to punish those
who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
It is God’s will that your honorable lives
should silence those ignorant people
who make foolish accusations against you.
For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves,
so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
Respect everyone, and love the family of believers.
Fear God, and respect the king.
1 Peter 2:13-17
Remain in me, and I will remain in you.
For a branch cannot produce fruit
if it is severed from the vine,
and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.
Those who remain in me, and I in them,
will produce much fruit.
For apart from me you can do nothing.
But for this purpose I have raised you up,
to show you my power,
so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.
John 16:4-5
Work hard to prove
that you really are among those
God has called and chosen.
Do these things, and you will never fall away.
Then God will give you a grand entrance
into the eternal Kingdom of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:10-11
Dear friends,
you always followed my instructions
when I was with you.
And now that I am away,
it is even more important.
Work hard to show the results of your salvation,
obeying God with deep reverence and fear.

Each of you should use whatever gift
you have received to serve others,
as faithful stewards of God’s grace
in its various forms.

as one who speaks the very words of God.
If anyone serves, they should do so with
the strength God provides,
so that in all things
God may be praised through Jesus Christ.
To him be the glory and the power
for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:10-11
Work willingly at whatever you do,
as though you were working for the Lord
rather than for people.

There are different kinds of gifts.
But it is the same Holy Spirit Who gives them.
There are different kinds of work to be done for Him.

There are different ways of doing His work.
But it is the same God who
uses all these ways in all people.
The Holy Spirit works in each person
in one way or another for the good of all.
