I Peter 4:18-19, New International Version

18 And,

“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,

what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

19 So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

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.

Proverbs 3:11-12, New King James Version

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,

Nor detest His correction;

12 For whom the LORD loves He corrects,

Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

Proverbs 3:9-10, New King James Version

9 Honor the LORD with your possessions,

And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,

And your vats will overflow with new wine.

Proverbs 3:7-8, New King James Version

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh,

And strength to your bones.

Ecclesiastes 11:9, New King James Version

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,

And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;

Walk in the ways of your heart,

And in the sight of you eyes;

But know that for all these

God will bring you into judgment.

John 17:6-11, New King James Version
