And when they had come, he said to them, You yourselves have seen what my life has been like all the time from the day when I first came into Asia,

And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.
You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.
Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.
Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.
But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;
Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour;
Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.
So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.
And in place of feeling sorrow, you are pleased with yourselves, so that he who has done this thing has not been sent away from among you.
So far from doing this, you yourselves do wrong and take your brothers' property.
Or are you not conscious that your body is a house for the holy Spirit which is in you, and which has been given to you by God? and you are not the owners of yourselves;
Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.
Be judges yourselves of the question: does it seem right for a woman to take part in prayer unveiled?
Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.
For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.
That you put yourselves under such, and under everyone who is helping the Lord's work.
You yourselves are our letter, whose writing is in our heart, open for every man's reading and knowledge;
For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.
For when, through this work of giving, they see what you are, they give glory to God for the way in which you have given yourselves to the good news of Christ, and for the wealth of your giving to them and to all;
For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.
Make a test of yourselves, if you are in the faith; make certain of yourselves. Or are you not conscious in yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, if you are truly Christ's?
Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.
Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:
Letting yourselves be ruled by one another in the fear of Christ.
So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;
If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
If you were made free, by your death with Christ, from the rules of the world, why do you put yourselves under the authority of orders
As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;
Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;
For you yourselves, brothers, are conscious that our coming among you was not without effect:
For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;
For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,
Keep in mind those who are in chains, as if you were chained with them, and those who are in trouble, as being yourselves in the body.
But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him.
Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.
My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;
So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;
Not as lords over God's heritage, but making yourselves examples to the flock.
And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.
For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;
My little children, keep yourselves from false gods.
Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward.

Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.
