1 Peter 1:13-16
Prepare your minds for action; exercise self-control; hope to the end for the grace which will be brought to you when JESUS CHRIST is revealed. Live as obedient children; avoid the patterns of former desires when you lived in ignorance. Just as he who called you is holy - be holy in all you do, for it is written, "Be holy, because I am holy."

Romans 2:6-11
GOD will judge each person by what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who seek glory, honor, and immortality with patient endurance. But there will be wrath and anger for those who live for themselves and who are disobedient to the truth, following evil. There will be trouble and distress for every soul that does evil, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; but glory, honor, and peace for all who do good, first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For GOD does not show favoritism.

Psalm 25:8-11
The LORD is good and the LORD is honorable. Therefore will he show sinners the way. He gives the humble good judgment and leads them on his path. All the ways of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth for those who are faithful to his covenant and his testimony. Being true to your name, O LORD, you have pardoned my iniquity, though it is substantial.

Hebrews 4:12
The WORD of GOD is living and active; sharper than any two-edged sword; penetrating and dividing soul and spirit, joint and marrow; discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart.

James 5:19-20
Dear beloved, if one of you strays from the truth, and someone brings them back, let them know that the person who brings the sinner back from the error of their way will have saved a soul from death, and many sins will be covered.

Romans 6:19-23
You once gave the members of your body over to be slaves to moral impurity, and to more and more sin. I speak in human terms because you are weak. Now, in the same way, give the parts of your body up in servitude to being made right, for being holy. For when you were servants of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What benefit did you get from those things of which you are now ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been set free from sin, you have become servants of GOD. You gain the benefits that lead to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS, our LORD.

2 Timothy 1:7-14
GOD did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and wise discretion. So never be ashamed to testify about our LORD, or ashamed of me [Paul] in prison. By the power of GOD, join with me in suffering for the gospel. For he saved us, and called us with a holy calling - not because of anything we have done, but because of his own purpose and grace, which was given us in CHRIST JESUS before the beginning of time. And now he has been revealed, through the appearing of our SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, who conquered death and brought light to life and immortality through the gospel, to which GOD appointed me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher to the nations. It is for this cause that I now suffer, but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day what I have entrusted to him. Hold on to what you have heard from me as a pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in CHRIST JESUS. Guard, by the HOLY SPIRIT which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted to you.

Phillippians 1:9-11
And this I pray: that your love may flow to overflowing in knowledge and discernment, so you can understand what really matters, and so you can be pure and blameless until the day CHRIST returns. May you always be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through JESUS CHRIST, to the glory and praise of GOD.

Ephesians 1:17-23
I keep asking the GOD of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, the FATHER of glory, to give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation: so you may know him better, so that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, and so you may know the hope of his calling, the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the incomparable greatness of his power for us who believe. This is the same mighty power and strength he used when he raised CHRIST from the dead and set him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above every principality, and authority, and power, and dominion, and above every name named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. GOD placed all things in subjection under his feet and appointed him to be head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills every thing in every way.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the LORD and the SPIRIT are one, and where the SPIRIT of the LORD is, there is liberty. And we all, without veil, who see the glory of the LORD as if looking into a mirror, are being made more and more in his image, reflecting more and more the SPIRIT of the LORD.

Romans 1:16-17
I am not ashamed of the gospel of CHRIST, for it is the power of GOD for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then also for the Gentile. The righteousness of GOD, which is about faith from start to finish, is revealed in the gospel. For it is written, "the righteous will live by faith."

1 Timothy 4:1-6
The HOLY SPIRIT clearly says that in latter times some will fall away from the faith to follow the deceiving spirits and demonic doctrines of hypocrites and liars, whose consciences have been cauterized. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from meats which GOD created to be received with thanksgiving by those that believe and know the truth. For everything GOD created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the word of GOD and prayer. If you explain these things to the family of GOD, you will be a good minister of JESUS CHRIST, being nourished by the message of faith, and by the good teaching that you have followed.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
We neither want you to be ignorant concerning those who have died, nor to grieve like those who have no hope. We believe that JESUS died and rose again, and we believe that GOD will bring with JESUS those who have died in him. For we tell you this directly from the LORD: that we who remain and are living at the coming of the LORD, will not meet him ahead of those who have died. For the LORD himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet call of GOD, and the dead in CHRIST will rise first. Then we who remain and are living will together with them be caught up in the clouds to meet the LORD in the air. From then on we will always be with the LORD. With these words, therefore, encourage one another.
