2 Timothy 2:11-13 – This quotation from an ancient Christian hymn, which the Apostle Paul cites in his last letter to Timothy, shows all the profundity and significance of Christianity as a way of living. He tells what should be important for every Christian: the call of God’s children expressed in the devoted work for the Lord; a warning to careless living; and the hope that God’s children have when considering the mercy of the Lord.

Rom. 12:9-13 – We may have the wrong idea of what Christianity should look like. This is why we need the teaching of the Scriptures to give us right guidelines in our relationships with our brothers and sisters, unbelievers, and our enemies. We also need the Scriptures to give us a right understanding of ourselves. By using this guideline, we can and must turn from a life of pretence and hypocrisy to the genuine life.
