My aunt gave me a Bible that has the words of Jesus printed in red. Are those words printed in red the ones I'm supposed to believe? I am trying to read them when I have time. Or should I believe other parts of the Bible also?

I'm afraid my husband is about to get addicted to painkillers. He had major back surgery a couple of months ago and says he has to have them to fight the pain. This scares me, but all he cares about is getting relief. I don't know what to do. Can you help?
