22 You have learned to lay aside, with your former manner of living, the old self who was on his way to ruin, as he followed the desires which deceive;
23 and to be made new in the spirit of your mind,
24 and to put on the new self, created after Gods likeness, in the uprightness and holiness of the truth.
12 Let no one despise you on account of your youth, but become an example for the faithful in word, in life, in love, in faith, in purity.
13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, be manly, be strong.
14 Let all that you do be done in love.
31 "We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.
6 A man came into being, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light - so that all men might believe through him.
11 But you, O servant of God, flee from these things, and run after integrity, piety, faith, love, stedfastness, gentleness.
12 But to all who receive him, to them he has given the right to become children of God, even to those who trust in his name;
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
