But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.

looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

And if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you,
