Lao 1:10–17

1:10 Put what you’ve learnt into practice

10 So, dear friends, hold onto what you heard when I was with you. Put it into practice with reverence for God, and you’ll have eternal life, 11 because it’s God who’s at work in you. 12 Whatever you do, do it without hesitation.

13 Finally, dear friends, rejoice in the messiah, and watch out for people who are greedy for dishonest gain. 14 Bring all your requests openly before God, and remain firm in the messiah’s way of thinking. 15 Do what’s wholesome, true, pure, right, and worthy of love. 16 Keep what you’ve heard and received firmly in your hearts, 17 and you’ll have peace.
