*1.* “To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” *2.* “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him, we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” *3.* “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” *4.* “Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.”
