3:23 Now before faith 1 came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners 2 until the coming faith would be revealed. 3:24 Thus the law had become our guardian 3 until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous 4 by faith. 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 5 3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. 6
5:1 For freedom 7 Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to the yoke 8 of slavery.
5:13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; 9 only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, 10 but through love serve one another. 11
51:12 Let me again experience the joy of your deliverance!
Sustain me by giving me the desire to obey! 12
119:45 I will be secure, 13
for I seek your precepts.
8:31 Then Jesus said to those Judeans 14 who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching, 15 you are really 16 my disciples 8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 17 8:33 “We are descendants 18 of Abraham,” they replied, 19 “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say, 20 ‘You will become free’?” 8:34 Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth, 21 everyone who practices 22 sin is a slave 23 of sin. 8:35 The slave does not remain in the family 24 forever, but the son remains forever. 25 8:36 So if the son 26 sets you free, you will be really free.
3:1 Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2:16 For the wise man, like 28 the fool, will not be remembered for very long, 29
because 30 in the days to come, both will already have been forgotten. 31
Alas, 32 the wise man dies – just like 33 the fool!
2:2 I said of partying, 34 “It is folly,”
and of self-indulgent pleasure, 35 “It accomplishes nothing!” 36
2:19 Who knows if he will be a wise man or a fool?
Yet 37 he will be master over all the fruit of 38 my labor 39
for which I worked so wisely 40 on earth! 41
This also is futile!
