If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on the earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. - NASB Colossians 3:1-4

"For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all ... and desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." - 1 Timothy 2:5-6,3

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.

In love, He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us." - Ephesians 1:3-8

"Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having his seal, 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and 'Let everyone who names the name of the Lord abstain from wickedness.' - 2 Timothy 2:19

"And so, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.

And beyond all these things, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts...

Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." - Colossians 3:12-17

"Now may our God and Father Himself and Jesus our Lord cause you to increase and aboud in love for one another, and for all men, just as we also do for you;

so that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints." - 1 Thessalonains 3:11-13

For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said,

"I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from their midst and be seperate," says the Lord. "And I will welcom you, and I will be a father to you. And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," says the Lord God Almighty. - 2 Corinthians 6: 16-18

"For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who said, 'Light shall shine out of darkness,' is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves." - 2 Corinthians 4:5-7
