-Peter 5:3- Do not try to try to rule over those who have been put in your care, but be examples to the flock. In the same way you younger people must submit yourselves to your elders and all of you must put on the apron of humility. God resists the proud, but shows favour to the humble -Peter 3:8- To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another and be kind and humble with one another. Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead payback with a blessing because a blessing is what god promised you when he called you. -2 Peter 5- For this very reason do your best to add goodness to your faith; to your goodness add knowledge; to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add endurance; to your endurance add godliness; to your godliness add christian affection; and to your christian affection add love. -1 John 4:7- Dear friends let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of god and knows god, whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. -2 Timothy 2- Take your part in suffering, as a loyal soldier of Christ Jesus. A soldier on active duty wants to please his commanding officer and so does not get mixed up in the affairs of civilian life. An athlete who runs a race cannot win the prize unless he obeys the rules. The farmer who has done the hard work should have the first share of the harvest. Think about what I am saying to you because The Lord who was raised from the dead, who was a descendant of David as is taught in the good news I preach, because I preach the good news I suffer and I am even chained like a criminal but the word of god is not in chains, and so I endure everything for the sake of Gods chosen people in order that they too may obtain the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus and brings eternal glory. This is a true saying: If we have died with him, we shall also live with him; If we continue to endure we shall also rule with him. If we deny him he cannot deny us. If we are not faithful he remains faithful because he cannot be false to himself -James 3:4- A small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong, in the same way the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire, and the tongue is is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.
