For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. The churches of Christ salute you. I am glad therefore on your behalf: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. You'll get this book and many others when you join Bible Gateway Plus. Starting your free trial of Bible Gateway Plus is easy.

We could make a few grand a week and would share the proceeds. I used to spend the money on weed, clothes and food. I got let back into school because no other place would have me. School was shite, I hated it. The government talk about stopping gangs. Well, give us some shit to do, then. There's nowt to do round here. There are fights every so often. People bring weapons but don't always use them. I've been hit with sticks and bats and bottles thrown by the Asians, and we've done the same to them.
One of my mates who's 14 has got one, a revolver and bullets. He was messing about with it once and fired it through the floor. You don't really need a gun round here, but he says it's for his own protection.

I don't carry a knife normally, but I might take one if I'm going up there to the Asians on top of the hill. The fighting used to be exciting. But I'm not really into it any more. I'm always being stopped by the police for things I haven't done. They just go for a face they know.

I've been in custody for five months but I could have gone down for three years for the street robbery. That made me change. The judge said that if he ever saw me again in that courtroom I wouldn't be going back home. My mum pleaded with me and said that if I didn't stop I'd be in and out of jail for the rest of my life. I haven't been in trouble for a while now. I left school last year when I was 16 and went to college. I finish my apprenticeship next year and I'll be able to work.
What do I want from life? To settle down, and move away from this shitty place. I've spent my whole life in Brixton. Nowadays you see people with weapons on the streets all the time. There's plenty of machine guns, but mostly young people have got replicas - often they're too scared to let it off because it could backfire. When you're involved there's a lot of people that hate you so you need to have protection - it might be a group of people, or you could be in a gang. I'm involved but I don't see myself as in a particular gang.
The most that a lot of us will say is that we're from Brixton - that's it. Gangs change too much every day. Peckham and Brixton have been in argument from God know's when. Peckham will not be caught in Brixton and we will not be caught there. I don't trust Peckham, full stop. You can always spot a Peckham boy, when you've grown up in the ends [area] you just know - the way they look, the way they walk, the way they act, you can just tell what a Peckham boy looks like, just like you can tell what a Brixton boy looks like.
Peckham wouldn't come here without guns. There's no neutral ground, but the closest there is to it is Brixton KFC, because the police are normally wandering up and down. I got involved because I needed the money. When I was 13 I got kicked out of school for fighting.
The following year I left home. I was dealing crack, heroin, everything. A lot of people will say they're doing this for the money and a lot of people ain't really taking the money. But for me the money was great. There is peer pressure, but you don't have to be involved. Most of these crews that keep appearing in the paper aren't making any money. It's just about status. But a lot of young people don't realise what the risk is. That's how it always starts - boredom. I got involved because I wanted big, I wanted the quick route to money, and it worked for me.
I was not pressured, no one forced me, and it was fun, there's a thrill to it. The money's live [cool], everyone's live, no one can talk to you or give you shit, it's a good life. Getting that type of money as a girl of 15! You can hold yourself, no one can rob you, no one can move to you [mug you], it feels good because of who you are, your reputation.
There are girls moving in crews, but there ain't many doing what I did. Because when boys are beefing I'll be involved as well. They said to me once, "She makes money like she's a boy, she bangs it out like she's a boy, so she can get taken out like a boy. Brixton's my ends, but I've still got to keep on point because I've got a lot of haters.

- I Did It.
I've seen too many shootings - the first one was when I was In the past three years I've nearly been shot about half a dozen times. One time they put a gun to the back of my head. I heard them cock it, but it jammed. I turned and I hit it out of their hand - bang - it dropped on the floor.
It was just me and a mate, there were six of them. They could have grabbed me but I think they were more shocked at what just happened. A youth picked it up. I looked at the boy who had the gun, punched him in the face and then I jumped in a car and got away. I could be dead, I know that. Another time, this guy was pointing the gun at me, but while he was talking I managed to wrestle it out of his hand.
Later I got revenge. I'd rather not say what we did to him, he got enough to last him a lifetime. You can't pull a gun on somebody and then not shoot them, it's like putting somebody in a coffin and not burying them. I've pulled a gun a few times - I had to, they were shoot-outs. Everyone had guns, they pulled, we pulled, shots were let off but no one got hurt, although I don't know how. If my dad was around I don't think I'd have done any of this.
He died when I was young. I wouldn't say I'm totally out of it yet, but by next year I'll be out of it altogether as it's not a good life to stay in. I plan to be very wealthy and I won't be living here. Next year I go to uni to study business and law and I ain't got time to be putting my head in nothing else but uni. I'm very ambitious - I want to do law and be in property. We live in a racist society, but I believe you have to make your way to the top and change things.
My life was basically surrounded by gangs because Walworth Road was a dangerous place to be - we were at war with Peckham. I started acting like a gangster at primary school when I was nine. I was being rude to the teachers, beating up the teachers, using obscene language and not listening. I joined Walworth Road Gangsters at 12, when I started secondary school. There were 30 of us. Some of the gang were there because their families neglected them and they needed people to turn to. It starts with you bonding with a close friend, then you maybe meet other people until you just come together as one group and think, "We're a family.
We carried baseball bats, lots of weapons, knives There was lots of guns around from the olders who used to watch over us. There was olders and youngers and tinies - we were the tinies back then.
Each person in a group had to do different things. Olders would ring up my cell phone and set me tasks like delivering drugs and collecting the money. I used to look up to them. They had what we didn't have - cars, rings, gold chains, money, lots of girls, so we thought, "We want to live like that.
Later on, I was a leader who gave the orders. Every so often people would refuse to do what I told them. At that point you have to go and beat him up to gain their respect again - that's how gang culture works. We weren't allowed in Peckham, Peckham weren't allowed in Walworth. The border was Burgess Park. If you were on your own, they'd beat you up, and the same thing with us.

So I had to stay out of Peckham. It was like a war back then, but I'm OK now, I can go down there. We used to put a lot of people in hospital, hitting them over the head with baseball bats. It's the easiest weapon - you can just carry a tennis ball and say you're going to the park. And if you want to, you can kill someone with a baseball bat.
