Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can the floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, It would utterly be contemned.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
