For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

Which of the two did his father’s will?” They said,“The first.” Jesus said to them,“I tell you the truth, tax collectors and prostitutes will go ahead of you into the kingdom of God!

For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,

If anyone wants to do God’s will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own authority.

So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God– what is good and well-pleasing and perfect.

For this reason do not be foolish, but be wise by understanding what the Lord’s will is.

Paul’s Prayer for the Growth of the Church For this reason we also, from the day we heard about you, have not ceased praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Epaphras, who is one of you and a slave of Christ, greets you. He is always struggling in prayer on your behalf, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, misled, enslaved to various passions and desires, spending our lives in evil and envy, hateful and hating one another.

By his sovereign plan he gave us birth through the message of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

So get rid of all evil and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.

And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.
