Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds,

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
