• Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

  [12] I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live. [13] Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

• Psalms 1:1-6

  [1] Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; [2] But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. [3] He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper. [4] The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. [5] Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.

• Luke 6:43-49

  [43] For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit. [44] For each tree is known by its own fruit. For people don't gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. [45] The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks. [46] "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do the things which I say? [47] Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like. [48] He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock. [49] But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."
