15 We must say what is true and say it with love. In that way we will grow up in all things to be like Christ, who is the head of this body.
16 The whole body is joined and held together by every joint that it has. It is from Christ that the whole body grows as each different part does its work. It grows so that it becomes stronger in love.
45 Who is like a wise servant who can be trusted? His master will put him in charge of his other servants. He gives them their food at the right time.
22 Everyone will hate you because you are true to me. But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end, will be saved.
10 Do not be afraid of the troubles you will have. Yes, the devil will put some of you into prison where you will be tested. You will have trouble for ten days. But keep on believing, even if you have to die for it. I will give you life for ever."
