\nVERSE: A HARD ROAD BEFORE THEM: MATTHEW 10:16\xa0\xa0\u201cListen carefully: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves\xa0[have no self-serving agenda]. (AMP)
\n\nCHRISTIAN CONDUCT: 1 THESSALONIANS 23\xa0Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged\u2014consecrated to Him\u2014set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.\xa0
\n24\xa0Faithful\xa0and\xa0absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]. 25\xa0Brothers and sisters, pray for us. (AMP)
