which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse

you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

(I. Peter 2.11 & 12).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are debtors-

not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die

but if by the Spirit you put to death the

deeds of the body, you will live.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,

these are the sons and daughters of God.

For you did not receive the Spirit of bondage

again to fear, but you received the Spirit of

adoption by whom we cry out, “Daddy, Father!”

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit

that we are the children of God.

And if children, then heirs- heirs of God, and

joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with

Him, that we may also be glorified together.

(Romans 8.12-17).
