*1.* “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” *2.* “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by agreeing, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others.” *3.* “For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?” *4.* “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
