Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your
kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we also have
forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Divorce. But I tell you that anyone who divorces
his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness,
causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone
who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Divorce. To the rest I say this (I, not the
Lord) If any brother has a wife who is not a
believer and she is willing to live with him, he
must not divorce her. And if a woman has a
husband who is not a believer and he is willing
to live with her, she must not divorce him. -
1 Cor. 7

But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A
believing man or woman is not bound in such
circumstances God has called us to live in
peace. How do you know, wife, whether you will
save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband,
whether you will save your wife? - 1 Cor. 7

Circumcision. My covenant in your flesh is to be
an everlasting covenant. - Gen. 17

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that
counts is faith expressing itself through love.
- Gal. 56
18

A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly,
nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly and
circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the
Spirit, not by the written code. - Rom. 2.28-29

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is
nothing. Keeping God's commands is what counts.
- 1 Cor. 7.19
20
Consuming Fire 2 of 4
In him you were also circumcised, in the putting
off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision
done by the hands of men but with the
circumcision done by Christ, having been buried
with him in baptism and raised with him through
your faith in the power of God, who raised him
from the dead. - Col. 2.11-12

Above all, love each other deeply, because love
covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 48
Most of all, love each other as if your life
depended on it. Love makes up for practically
anything.
