cleaning up your life

⁹If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.

¹And so, I beg you, brothers, by the mercy of God, that you offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, with the subservience of your mind. ²And do not choose to be conformed to this age, but instead choose to be reformed in the newness of your mind, so that you may demonstrate what is the will of God: what is good, and what is well-pleasing, and what is perfect.

²¹Do not allow evil to prevail, instead prevail over evil by means of goodness.

¹⁶For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.

²⁵For whoever causes injury shall be repaid for what he has wrongfully done. And there no favoritism with God.

³You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.

²⁴Amen, amen, I say to you, that whoever hears my word, and believes in him who sent me, has eternal life, and he does not go into judgment, but instead he crosses from death into life.

²⁴He himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, so that we, having died to sin, would live for justice. By his wounds, you have been healed.

³⁶And so, be vigilant, praying at all times, so that you may be held worthy to escape from all these things, which are in the future, and to stand before the Son of man.”

⁸But, before all things, have a constant mutual charity among yourselves. For love covers a multitude of sins.

¹⁶But because you are lukewarm and are neither cold nor hot, I will begin to vomit you out of my mouth.

⁶Jesus said to him: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

¹²And the Lord said to me: “You have seen well. For I will keep watch over my word, so that I may accomplish it.”

²¹But test all things. Hold on to whatever is good. ²²Abstain from every kind of evil.
