For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.

Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Who saved us and called us a holy calling, not because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began

Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.
