Command those who are rich in this world’s goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.

So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory.

So if someone cleanses himself of such behavior, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart, useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

But they will not go much further, for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres.

All is pure to those who are pure. But to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

They profess to know God but with their deeds they deny him, since they are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.

He gave himself for us to set us free from every kind of lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are truly his, who are eager to do good.

And no creature is hidden from God, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account.

For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.

For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

To him also Abraham apportioned a tithe of everything. His name first means king of righteousness, then king of Salem, that is, king of peace.

For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.

And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.

Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.

Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, acknowledging his name.

But if anyone is deficient in wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without reprimand, and it will be given to him.

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.
