And the God of peace will be with you.”
-Philippians 4:9
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only,
deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the
word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks
intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at
himself and goes away and at once forgets what he
was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law,
the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer
who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in
his doing.”
- James 1:22-24
