For ye are bought with a price therefore glorify
God in your body, and in your spirit, which are
God's.
No man can serve two masters for either he will
hate the one, and love the other or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot
serve God and mammon.

Rom.66

Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with him, that the body of
sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should
not serve sin.
He that is not with me is against me and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Lk.107-10

7. But which of you,
having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will
say unto him by and by, when he is come from the
field, Go and sit down to meat? 8. And will not
rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may
sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have
eaten and drunken and afterward thou shalt eat
and drink? 9. Doth he thank that servant because
he did the things that were commanded him? I trow
not. 10. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done
all those things which are commanded you, say, We
are unprofitable servants we have done that
which was our duty to do.
Rom.147-8


For none of us liveth to himself,
and no man dieth to himself. For whether we
live, we live unto the Lord and whether we die,
we die unto the Lord whether we live therefore,
or die, we are the Lord's.

also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me,
ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for
the devil and his angels 42. For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me no meat I was thirsty,
and ye gave me no drink 43. I was a stranger,
and ye took me not in naked, and ye clothed me
not sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44. Then shall they also answer him, saying,
Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or
a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and
did not minister unto thee? 45.Then shall he
answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of
these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these
shall go away into everlasting punishment but
the righteous into life eternal.

ourselves we are his people, and the sheep of
his pasture. For the LORD is good his mercy is
everlasting and his truth endureth to all
generations

28. And one of the scribes
came, and having heard them reasoning together,
and perceiving that he had answered them well,
asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel The Lord our God
is one Lord 30. And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength this is the first commandment. 31. And

thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
