The Lord will rescue me
from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly
kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. -Luke 21:33, New King James Version, Words from the Holy Bible

Romans 8:31-34, King James Version
31 What shall we
then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he
not with him also freely give us all things?
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.

James 4:4, New King James Version
Adulterers and
adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is
enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be friend with the world
makes himself an enemy of God.
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
6
But He gives more
grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
7
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
8
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands,
you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Proverbs 3:33-34, King James Version
33 The curse of
the Lord is in the house of the wicked; but he blesseth the
habitation of the just.
34 Surely he
scorneth the scorners: hut he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Proverbs 3:11-12, King James Version
11 My son,
despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither by weary of his
correction:
12 For whom the
Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he
delighteth.
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.

Matthew 7:21-23, New King James Version
21 “Not
everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 “Many will
say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your
name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your
name?'
23 “And then I
will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness!'
Matthew 6:33. New King James Version
“But seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be
added to you.

I Peter 3:3-4, New King James Version
3 Do not let
your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of
wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel;
4 but let it be
the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a
gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.
Acts 4:8-12, New King James Version
8 Then Peter,
filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people
and elders of Israel:
9 “If we this
day are judged for a good deed done to the helpless man, by what means
he has been made well,
10 “let it be
known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from
the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.
11 “This is
the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the
chief cornerstone.'
12 “Nor is
there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven
given among men by which we must be saved.”
Psalm 118:22-23, New King James Version
22 The stone
which the builders rejected
Has become the chief
cornerstone.
23 This was the
Lord's doing;
It is marvelous in our
eyes.

I Corinthians 4:6, New King James Version
Now these things,
brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for
your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is
written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against
the other.
Deuteronomy 30:19, New King James Version
“I call heaven and
earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you
and your descendants may live;

I Thessalonians 2:13-17, New King James Version
13 But we are
bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the
Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through
sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
14 to which He
called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of your Lord
Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore,
brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught,
whether by word or our epistle.
16 Now may our
Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us
and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,
17 comfort your
hearts and establish you in every good word and work.
I Thessalonians 5:12-22, New King James Version
12 And we urge
you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over
you in the Lord and admonish you,
13 and to esteem
them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among
yourselves.
14 Now we exhort
you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted,
uphold the weak, be patient with all.
15 See that no
one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good
both for yourselves and for all.
16 Rejoice
always,
17 Pray without
ceasing,
18 in everything
give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
19 Do not quench
the Spirit.
20 Do not
despise prophecies.
21 Test all
things; hold fast what is good.
22 Abstain from
every form of evil.
