eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,

For who is going to harm you if you are devoted to what is good?

(For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.)

I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ.

The good person brings good things out of his good treasury, and the evil person brings evil things out of his evil treasury.

He said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

The good person out of the good treasury of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasury produces evil, for his mouth speaks from what fills his heart.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
