Stay on good terms with each other,
held together by love.
Be ready with a meal or a bed when it's needed.
Why, some have extended hospitality
to angels without even knowing it!
Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them.
Look on victims of abuse as if what happened
to them had happened to you.
Honor marriage and guard the sacredness
of sexual intimacy between wife and husband.
God draws a firm line against casual and illicit sex.
Don't be obsessed with getting more material things.
Be relaxed with what you have.
Since God assures us, "I'll never let you down,
never walk off and leave you,"
We can boldly quote:
God is there, ready to help.
I'm fearless no matter what.
Who or what can get to me?
~ Hebrews 13 [The Message]
If God be for us, who can be against us?
Who can lay anything to the charge of God's elect?
It is God that justifieth;
Who is he that condemeth?
It is Christ that died; yea, rather,
that is risen again,
who is at the right hand of God,
who makes intercession for us.
~ Handel's Messiah
