For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision accomplishes anything; what matters is faith working through love.

and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith. I pray that you, being rooted and firmly established in love,

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription:

The Lord knows those who are His,

and

Everyone who names the name of the Lord
must turn away from unrighteousness.

The time

Strength and honor are her clothing,
and she can laugh at the time to come.

And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous money so that when it fails, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.

Lay

Fight the good fight for the faith;
take hold of eternal life
that you were called to
and have made a good confession about
in the presence of many witnesses.

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.

and into an inheritance that is imperishable, uncorrupted, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.

General references

Because you didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, even though you had an abundance of everything,

it prepares its provisions in summer;
it gathers its food during harvest.

Give to the one who asks you, and don’t turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life.
