*1.* “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows to the Most High.” *2* “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” *3* “Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.” *4* “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”
