Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you

005:013

Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
