If you point these things out to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and the good teaching that you have followed.

Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to Him.

Therefore, brothers, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble.

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

We have a great deal to say about this, and it’s difficult to explain, since you have become too lazy to understand.Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant.But solid food is for the mature— for those whose senses have been trained to distinguish between good and evil.

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.

Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found at peace with Him without spot or blemish.

And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are irresponsible, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

However, we do speak a wisdom among the mature, but not a wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
