βFor everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.β
βTherefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our βGod is a consuming fire.β
βWhatever you do, do it from the heart for the Lord and not for people. You know that you will receive an inheritance as a reward. You serve the Lord Christ.β

If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming fire.'"
βYou will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.β
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.β

See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
βYou will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The Lord will keep you from evil; He will keep you safe. He will protect you as you come and go, now and forever.β
My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.
