We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

Now, there remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.
