[the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, He alone possesses
immortality [absolute exemption from death] and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To
Him be honor and eternal power and dominion! Amen.

Now in a wealthy home there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also ones made of wood and of clay, and some are for

Older women likewise are to exhibit behavior fitting for those who are holy, not slandering, not slaves to excessive drinking,
but teaching what is good. In this way they will train the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be
self-controlled, pure, fulfilling their duties at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the message of God
may not be discredited.
Titus 2:3-5
24
For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above
the heavens. He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for
the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all. For the law appoints as high priests men subject to
weakness, but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.
Hebrews 7:26-28

purifies himself, just as Jesus is pure).
1 John 3:2-3

God – not by human wisdom but by the grace of God – we conducted ourselves in the world, and all the more toward you.
2 Corinthians 1:12
29
For we are not like so many others, hucksters who peddle the word of God for profit, but we are speaking in Christ
before God as persons of sincerity, as persons sent from God.
2 Corinthians 2:17
30
We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry. But as
God’s servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in
distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger, by purity, by knowledge, by
patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love, by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of
righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as
impostors, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are
scourged and yet not executed; as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and
yet possessing everything.
2 Corinthians 6:3-10
31
Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love,
faithfulness, and purity.
