“Do not be only hearers of the word, but doers of the word.”

“They profess to know God, but in works they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. But, as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine, show yourself to be a pattern of good works, in doctrine, show integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, and sound speech that cannot be condemned. Speak evil of no one, be peaceful, gentle, and showing humanity to all men. For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceiving, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice, envy, hateful and hating one another; but, when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy, He saved us, through the renewing of the Holy Spirit whom he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Thanks be to God!
