We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

I have written to you, children, because you have come to know the Father. I have written to you, fathers, because you have come to know the One who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, God's word remains in you, and you have had victory over the evil one.

Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are lazy, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
