Concluding remarks

13 I write these things to you who believe in the Son of God. I am writing this so that you may know that immortal life is yours.
1 John 5:13

14 So we can come to God believing that when we ask him for anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14

15 Therefore we know that he hears us whenever we ask him for anything. Then we know that he gives us what we ask of him.
1 John 5:15

16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, then he ought to pray for his brother. God will give him life. I am talking about people who sin, but the punishment for their sins is not death. There are sins that end in death as punishment. I am not asking you to pray about this sin.
1 John 5:16

17 Doing wrong is always a sin. But there are also sins that do not lead to eternal death.
1 John 5:17

18 For we know that if any man be born of God, he sinneth not; The Son of God protects him, and the evil one (Satan) cannot harm him.
1 John 5:18

19 We know that we are God’s people, but the evil one (Satan) controls the whole world.
1 John 5:19

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us wisdom, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true. And in fact our lives are in that one truth. That is the true God, and that is eternal life.
1 John 5:20

21 Therefore, my children, keep yourselves from false gods.
1 John 5:21

Keep moving forward towards God

12 I do not mean that I have already become exactly as God intended me to be. I haven’t reached the goal yet. But I am constantly struggling to reach that goal. That is why Christ Jesus made me his own.
Philippians 3:12

13 Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached my destination. But there is one thing I always do; I have forgotten the past and I am trying hard to reach the destination that is in front of me.
Philippians 3:13

14 I am constantly striving to reach the destination and win the prize for which God is calling us to heaven through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14

15 All of us who have grown up spiritually should think the same way. But if you do not agree with any of these things, God will make it clear to you.
Philippians 3:15

16 In any case we must continue to walk in the path of truth that we have been following so far.
Philippians 3:16

17 Brothers and sisters, follow my example. Observe the people who follow our example closely. As we show you the way. Follow them.
Philippians 3:17

18 Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have told you about such people many times. And now as I talk about them, I start to cry.
Philippians 3:18

19 The way they live is the way that leads to destruction. Their hunger is their God. They are proud of the things they should be ashamed of. They think only of worldly things.
Philippians 3:19

20 But our homeland is in heaven. We are waiting for our Savior to come down from heaven. Our Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:20

21 Christ will change our physical bodies like his glorious body. He will do this with the power by which he is able to control everything.
Philippians 3:21
