He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But he who walks wisely will be delivered.

I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith will not fail. 

Among those who are near me I will be rendered holy, and before all the people I will be glorified.

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God

His divine power has freely given to us everything we need for a life of godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and might.

For we are his work, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance that we should do them.

Set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

What’s your aim?

If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed. 

God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope,

The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
