Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus

2 Peter 1:3 ESV

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”

Psalm 32:8, ESV

What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
