I Thessalonians 5:4-5, New International Version

4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Psalms 34:14-19, New American Standard Bible

14 Depart from evil and do good; 

Seek peace and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous 

And His ears are open to their cry.

16 The face of the LORD is against evildoers, 

To cut off the memory of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hears 

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted 

And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, 

But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

Romans 7:12, New King James Version

Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

Romans 7:2, New International Version

For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.

Ephesians 5:15-16, Amplified Version

15 Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),

16 Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.

Deuteronomy 12:32, New King James Version

Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

II Corinthians 4:16-18, Today’s English Version

16 For this reason, we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day. 17 And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. 18 For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.
