I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching.

Never forget these commands that I am giving you today.

I always do what God commands; I follow his will, not my own desires.

I keep your law in my heart, so that I will not sin against you.

my father would teach me. He would say, "Remember what I say and never forget it. Do as I tell you, and you will live.

You spoke to me, and I listened to every word. I belong to you, LORD God Almighty, and so your words filled my heart with joy and happiness.

Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

I write to you, my children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you are strong; the word of God lives in you, and you have defeated the Evil One.

But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as his Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For his Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ.

From the Elder--- To the dear Lady and to her children, whom I truly love. And I am not the only one, but all who know the truth love you,

And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father's glory will be shown through the Son.

"When that day comes, you will not ask me for anything. I am telling you the truth: the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

Then you will always trust in God and find that he is the source of your joy.

Seek your happiness in the LORD, and he will give you your heart's desire.

The righteous get what they want, but the wicked will get what they fear most.

"Then my favor will shine on you like the morning sun, and your wounds will be quickly healed. I will always be with you to save you; my presence will protect you on every side.

While he is young, there are men who take care of him and manage his affairs until the time set by his father.

What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.

We receive from him whatever we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.

We have courage in God's presence, because we are sure that he hears us if we ask him for anything that is according to his will.
