I Peter 1:6-9, New International Version

6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you loved him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe I him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of you faith, the salvation of your souls.

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

I Corinthians 5:8-13, Amplified Version

8 Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened [bread] of purity (nobility, honor) and sincerity and [unadulterated] truth.

9 I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate [closely and habitually] with unchaste (impure) people –

10 Not [meaning of course that you must] altogether shun the immoral people of this world, or the greedy graspers and cheats and thieves or idolaters, since otherwise you would need to get out of the world and human society altogether!

11 But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with t foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering] or is a drunkard or swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person.

12 What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgement [passing censuring sentence on them as facts require]?

13 God alone sits in judgement on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].

James 4:6-8, New King James Version

“God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

Proverbs 3:1-7, King James Version

1 MY SON, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments;

2 For the length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
