Son, go work today in my vineyard.—MATT. 21:28.
Thou are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Reckon ye . . . yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.—As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.—Sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Gal. 4:7.Rom. 6:11-13. -I Pet. 1:14-16. -II Tim. 2:21.I Cor. 15:58.
