22 But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.
23 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have stopped doing the wrong things they want to do. They have stopped them just as if they were killed on a cross. And they have even stopped wanting to do them.
33 Do not be fooled. If good people keep company with bad people, the good people will become bad too.
32 Be kind to one another. Have a loving and understanding heart. Forgive one another because God has forgiven you for Christs sake.
23 We are free to do anything we want to do. Yes, but some things do not make people better. It is better if we do not do such things.
36 So be kind like your Father.
21 Do not let wrong things win a victory over you. But win a victory over wrong things by the good things you do.
10 So then, when we can, we should do good to all people. But most of all, we should do it to those who are in Gods family.
9 I also want women to wear the right kind of clothes. They should not make a show of themselves, but use good sense. They should not fix up their hair in a fancy way, or wear gold and fine stones, or clothes that cost much money.
10 But women should busy themselves with good works. This is the right thing for women who say they worship God.
15 So also with a lamp. People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket. But they put it on the place for a lamp. Then all the people in the house can see its light.
16 So, let your light shine to all people. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will praise your Father in heaven.
5 So now you believe, try to live a good life. When you live a good life, try to learn more about God.
6 When you have learned more, be strong to do what is right. Then go on doing what is right, even if it is hard. As you go about doing right, keep close to God.
7 As you keep close to God, love your Christian brothers. When you love your Christian brothers, love everyone!
13 Who will do something bad to you if you want to do what is good?
14 Christ gave himself for us so that he might make us free from all that is wrong. He gave himself to make us into clean people who belong to him and want to do good.
8 God is able to give you even more blessings than you need. In all things you will always have all you need for yourselves, and you will have enough to help all others.
29 Do not let any bad words come out of your mouth. But say good things that will help people. Then those who hear you will also be blessed by what you say.
9 Your love must be real love. Hate what is wrong. Hold to what is good.
