"But if Christ is in you,although the body is dead because of sin,
the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,
the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also,
through his Spirit dwelling in you." Heb 8:8-11 NAB
"Brothers and sisters, there was a time when you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord."
Jesus answered and said to her,
“Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again;
but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst;
the water I shall give will become in him
a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
"This dazzling brightness which emanated from His whole Body was produced by an interior shining of His Divinity. False Judaism had rejected the Messias, and now true Judaism, represented by Moses and Elias, the Law and the Prophets, recognized and adored Him, while for the second time God the Father proclaimed Him His only-begotten and well-loved Son. By this glorious manifestation the Divine Master, who had just foretold His Passion to the Apostles (Matthew 16:21), and who spoke with Moses and Elias of the trials which awaited Him at Jerusalem, strengthened the faith of his three friends and prepared them for the terrible struggle of which they were to be witnesses in Gethsemani, by giving them a foretaste of the glory and heavenly delights to which we attain by suffering." Catholic Encyclopedia
For just as through the disobedience of the one man
the many were made sinners,

"Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock." Matthew 7:21
"Life is worth more than what we eat or drink or wear...Look first for God's kingdom and being right with God. Then you will have all you need." Matthew 6:24-33
“…for God lets the sun shine on both good and bad people. If you love only people who love you, why should you be rewarded? Even sinners do that!”
Blessed are they whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who observe his decrees,
who seek him with all their heart.
R. Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! Ps 119
“You are the salt of the earth…You are the light of the world.”
