The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.
The words I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life
†John 6:63
"Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return."
"...men will have to give account on the day of judgement, for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted and by your words you will be condemned."
"Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved."
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you....For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
"...everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
"As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. "I tell you the truth" he said, "this poor woman has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
"I care very little if I am judged by you or by any other human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is The Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till The Lord comes. he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and wil expose the motives of men's heart."
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
"Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion..."
"...every inclination in his heart is evil from childhood."
