1 Corinthians 13:4-8 AMPC 4 Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. 5 It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. 6 It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. 7 Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. 8 Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

Philippians 2:4-5 AMPC “Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]”

Romans 12:16 AMPC “Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits.”

Romans 15:5 AMPC  Now may the God Who gives the power of patient endurance (steadfastness) and Who supplies encouragement, grant you to live in such mutual harmony and such full sympathy with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus.

“Thank You Father for giving me the patience to deal with this situation and the endurance to handle other situations that arise so that I may live in mutual harmony with others.  Thank You for supplying me with encouragement as I am led by the Holy Spirit in this situation.”

Philippians 4:13 ESV I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Colossians 1:11 AMPC [We pray] that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy,

Galatians 5:18 says we are guided (led) by the Holy Spirit

Our teaching is inspired by the mandate for women as detailed in Titus, Chapter 2! Older women are to live in a way that honors God and we are to give wise counsel and be teachers of what is right and noble. We are to train the younger women how to live out the instructions found in the Word of God, to teach “the character and right living that identify” us as “true Christians”, and to be led by the Holy Spirit!
