Don’t act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves. Don’t be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others. Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Philippians 2:3-5 (GWT))

When the whole world does this, it will be an amazing place to live. Actually, it will be heaven.

No one can please God without faith. Whoever goes to God must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:6 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))

Light produces everything that is good, that has God’s approval, and that is true.
Ephesians 5:9 (GWT))

You know very well that no person who is involved in sexual sin, perversion, or greed (which means worshiping wealth) can have any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Don’t let anyone deceive you with meaningless words. It is because of sins like these that God’s anger comes to those who refuse to obey him. Don’t be partners with them.
Ephesians 5:5-7 (GWT))

Don’t let sexual sin, perversion of any kind, or greed even be mentioned among you. This is not appropriate behavior for God’s holy people. It’s not right that dirty stories, foolish talk, or obscene jokes should be mentioned among you either. Instead, give thanks ?to God?.
Ephesians 5:3-4 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))

Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you.”
Luke 6:38 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))

He also gave apostles, prophets, missionaries, as well as pastors and teachers as gifts ?to his church?. Their purpose is to prepare God’s people to serve and to build up the body of Christ.

Ephesians 4:11-12 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))

God’s favor has been given to each of us. It was measured out to us by Christ who gave it.

Ephesians 4:7 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))

People say everything leads to God if you try. That is hogwash.

There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over everything, through everything, and in everything.
Ephesians 4:5-6 (GOD’S WORD Translation (GWT))
