"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life."

"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.  Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you- unless, of course, you fail the test."

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin.  Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go will with you, even as your soul is getting along well.  It gave me great joy to have some brothers come and tell about your faithfulness to the truth and how you continue to walk in the truth."
