So, brothers and sisters, we (who are born again) are not children of a slave woman (the natural), but of the free (the supernatural.
Practice what you have learned and seen in me and model your way of living on it, and the God of peace will be with you.
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest Whom we confess.
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers and sisters, love one another deeply from the heart.
In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
You, my brothers and sisters were called to be free.
