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

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Peace is ever with the humble man, but in the heart of the proud there is envy and continual wrath.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now if we are children, then we are heirs - heirs of God and joint with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
