  which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith
  of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself
  for me.

Spiritual Warfare

• I Corinthians 310-15
• 10 According to the grace of God which is given
  unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the
  foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let
  every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
• 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that
  is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
• 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation
  gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay,
  stubble
• 13 Every mans work shall be made manifest for
  the day shall declare it, because it shall be
  revealed by fire and the fire shall try every
  mans work of what sort it is.
• 14 If any mans work abide which he hath built
  thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
• 15 If any mans work shall be burned, he shall
  suffer loss but he himself shall be saved yet
  so as by fire.
