I speak to you as if you were my own children. It’s only fair that you also open your hearts wide to us.
Nothing makes me happier than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Dear children, let’s not love just with words or talk. Let’s really love, by doing something.
Dear children, don’t let anyone lead you astray. The person who does what is right is holy, just as Christ is holy.
My dear children, I’m writing this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, then we have a friend who speaks to the Father for us. He’s Jesus Christ, the Blameless One
You know that we treated each of you the way a father treats his own children.
I’m begging you, brothers and sisters: Become like me. After all, I became like you. You didn’t do anything wrong to me.
So I tell you, when you pray for something, believe that you have already received it. Then it will be yours.
My dear children, once again I’m in pain for you, as if I were a woman giving birth. That’s how much I want to see Christ make you like himself.
