If a person always respects the Lord, then that person will be blessed. But if a person is stubborn and refuses to respect the Lord, then he will have trouble.
If a person thinks he is better than other people, then that will destroy him. But if a person is humble, then other people will respect him.
But when a person stands before people and says he does not believe in me, then I will say that person does not belong to me. I will say this before my Father in heaven.
Peter asked, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I am ready to die for you!”
That is true. But those branches were broken off because they did not believe. And you continue to be part of the tree only because you believe. Don’t be proud, but be afraid.
So the person that thinks he is standing strong should be careful that he doesn’t fall.
My dear friends, you have always obeyed. You obeyed God when I was with you. It is even more important that you obey now while I am not there \{to help you\}. You yourselves must live in a way that moves you toward your salvation. Do this with respect and fear for God.
You pray to God and call him Father. God judges each man’s work equally. So while you are visiting \{here on earth\}, you should live with fear (respect) for God.
