• 1 Corinthians 16:13

  Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

• Romans 12:1-21

  [1] Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. [2] Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God. [3] For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith. [4] For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don't have the same function, [5] so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. [6] Having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us, if prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith; [7] or service, let us give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching; [8] or he who exhorts, to his exhorting: he who gives, let him do it with liberality; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. [9] Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. [10] In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another; [11] not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; [12] rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer; [13] contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality. [14] Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don't curse. [15] Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. [16] Be of the same mind one toward another. Don't set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don't be wise in your own conceits. [17] Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. [18] If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. [19] Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, "Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord." [20] Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head." [21] Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

• Micah 6:8

  He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, To love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

• John 13:34

  A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

• Jeremiah 1:5

  Before I formed you in the belly I knew you, and before you came forth out of the womb I sanctified you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.

• 1 John 1:9

  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

• Matthew 7:7

  "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

• John 4:24

  God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

• Proverbs 5:1-12

  [1] My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding: [2] That you may maintain discretion, That your lips may preserve knowledge. [3] For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil, [4] But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword. [5] Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol. [6] She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it. [7] Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth. [8] Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house, [9] Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; [10] Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man's house. [11] You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed, [12] And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;
