But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ayou have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be acontent in whatever circumstances I am.I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going ahungry, both of having abundance and bsuffering need.I can do all things through Him who astrengthens me.aRejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. aThe Lord is near.aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by bprayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And athe peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will bguard your hearts and your cminds in dChrist Jesus.Finally, brethren, awhatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.The things you have learned and received and heard and seen ain me, practice these things, and bthe God of peace will be with you.

highlighted James 4:4-10 NASB
aHumble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.You aadulteresses, do you not know that friendship with bthe world is chostility toward God? dTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.Or do you think that the Scripture aspeaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires bthe Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?But aHe gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "bGOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."aSubmit therefore to God. bResist the devil and he will flee from you.aDraw near to God and He will draw near to you. bCleanse your hands, you sinners; and cpurify your hearts, you ddouble-minded.aBe miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

highlighted John 5:16-24 NASB
For this reason athe Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.But He answered them, "My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working."For this reason therefore athe Jews bwere seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, cmaking Himself equal with God.Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, athe Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner."aFor the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him bgreater works than these, so that you will marvel."For just as the Father raises the dead and agives them life, even so bthe Son also gives life to whom He wishes."For not even the Father judges anyone, but aHe has given all judgment to the Son,so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. aHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him."Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and abelieves Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and bdoes not come into judgment, but has cpassed out of death into life.

highlighted Ephesians 4:22-27 NLT
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. So stop telling lies. Let us tell our neighbors the truth, for we are all parts of the same body. And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

highlighted Galatians 5:16-17 NLT
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.
