34 Jesus called the crowd and his disciples over to him, and told them, "If you want to follow me, you must give up on yourselves, pick up your cross and follow me.

31 The second is ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’* There’s no more important commandment than these."

20 I’ve been crucified with Christ— so it’s no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me, and who gave himself for me.

3 Don’t do anything from a spirit of selfishness or pride, but humbly think of others better than you do of yourself.

24 But I don’t consider my life as worth anything to me. I only want to finish my mission and the ministry that the Lord Jesus gave to me, to witness to the good news of the grace of God.

24 You shouldn’t look out for yourself, but for your neighbor.

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not boastful. Love is not proud. 5 Love does not act improperly, or insist on having its own way. Love is not argumentative and doesn’t keep a record of wrongs.

18 Don’t deceive yourselves. If there’s any one of you who thinks they’re worldly wise, they should become fools so they can become truly wise!

2 We should all encourage others to do what’s morally right, building them up.

25 If you’re generous, you’ll become rich; give someone a drink of water, and you’ll be given one in return.

2 Stupid people have no interest in trying to understand, they only want to express their opinions.

36 Help me to concentrate on what you say* rather than on making a profit.

16 Wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition you’ll also find confusion and all kinds of evil practices.
