After telling his disciples that they should love one another, Jesus began preparing them in John 15:18-16:11 to be hated by the world. Even so, he sent them out to be witnesses for him, but not on their own. He also promised to send the Holy Spirit to be the witness who would convince the world about the truth of the gospel.
As the second Adam and the faithful Israel, Jesus resisted temptation and so can help us when we are tempted.
Timothy and Epaphroditus demonstrated the mind of Christ in the way they lived.
God gave us The Ten Words, which show us how to live well and our need for Jesus Christ.
