Jesus answered them, "How wrong you are! It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.

Jesus answered them, "How wrong you are! And do you know why? It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power.

He is the God of the living, not of the dead. You are completely wrong!"

Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.

I tell you, then, do not let anyone deceive you with false arguments, no matter how good they seem to be.

See to it, then, that no one enslaves you by means of the worthless deceit of human wisdom, which comes from the teachings handed down by human beings and from the ruling spirits of the universe, and not from Christ.

They have left the way of truth and are upsetting the faith of some believers by saying that our resurrection has already taken place.

Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry.

Listen, my dear friends! God chose the poor people of this world to be rich in faith and to possess the kingdom which he promised to those who love him.

So then, dear friends, as you always obeyed me when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey me now while I am away from you. Keep on working with fear and trembling to complete your salvation,

So then, my friends, how dear you are to me and how I miss you! How happy you make me, and how proud I am of you!---this, dear friends, is how you should stand firm in your life in the Lord.

Keep on loving one another as Christians.
