And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.”-John 17:15-19“ Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.”-Philippians 2:14-162.
