Amen!

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. Amen!

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.
“And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.”

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Amen!
“Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.”

For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
