⁴¹ Then Jesus answered and said, “O ^[a]faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and ^[b]bear with you? Bring your son here.”

¹³ Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. ¹⁵ Then, ^(A)when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, ^(B)brings forth death.

Faith Without Works Is Dead^(A)

^14 (B)What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

Christian Liberty

5 ^(A)Stand^[a] fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a ^(B)yoke of bondage.

Love Fulfills the Law

⁷ You ^(A)ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶ I say then: ^(A)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(A)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. ^25 (B)If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap ^(A)everlasting life.

²³ Therefore ^(A)if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, ^24 (B)leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
