"He that trusteth in his riches shall fall:
but the righteous shall flourish as a branch."

[ Proverbs 11:28, KJV ]

"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night."

[ Psalm 1:1-2, KJV ]

"They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
and be filled with their own devices."

[ Proverbs 1:30-31, KJV ]

"I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment:
lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Fury is not in me:
who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle?
I would go through them, I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold of my strength,
that he may make peace with me;
and he shall make peace with me."

[ Isaiah 27:3-5, KJV ]

"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain. 
And every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible."

[ 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, KJV ]

"Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me,
as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Order my steps in thy word:
and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Deliver me from the oppression of man:
so will I keep thy precepts."

[ Psalm 119:132-134, KJV ]

"Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward. 
For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise."

[ Hebrews 10:35-36, KJV ]

"Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 
That ye may be blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,
that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain."

[ Philippians 2:14-16, KJV ]

"Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David;
my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him,
saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said,
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread,
and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord:
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman,
great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

[ Matthew 15:21-28, KJV ]

"Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,
that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 
Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God;
your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers,
with all the men of Israel, Your little ones, your wives,
and thy stranger that is in thy camp,
from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 
That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God,
and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: 
That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself,
and that he may be unto thee a God,
as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers,
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. "

[ Jeremiah 32:26-29, KJV ]

"Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah,
saying, Behold,
I am the LORD, the God of all flesh:
is there any thing too hard for me? 
Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold,
I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans,
and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
and he shall take it: And the Chaldeans,
that fight against this city,
shall come and set fire on this city,
and burn it with the houses,
upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal,
and poured out drink offerings unto other gods,
to provoke me to anger."

[ Jeremiah 32:26-29, KJV ]

"Wherewith shall I come before the LORD,
and bow myself before the high God?
shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves of a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,
or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He hath shewed thee,
O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with thy God?"

[ Micah 6:6-8, KJV ]

"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,
do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat: 
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

[ Matthew 7:12-15, KJV ]

"Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress;
so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us:
for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease,
and with the contempt of the proud."

[ Psalm 123:1-4, KJV ]

"I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts."

[ Psalm 119:99-100, KJV ]

"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:
and they are written for our admonition,
upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,
that ye may be able to bear it. Wherefore,
my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry."

[ 1 Corinthians 10:11-14, KJV ]

"Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself;
and discover not a secret to another: 
Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame,
and thine infamy turn not away. A word fitly spoken is like
apples of gold in pictures of silver. 
As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear."

[ Proverbs 25:9-12 ]

"Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life. 
Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee. 
Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 
Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established. 
Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil."

[ Proverbs 4:23-27 ]

"Wherefore he is able also to save
them to the uttermost
that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them."

[ Hebrews 7:25, KJV ]

"My son, attend to my words;
incline thine ear unto my sayings. 
Let them not depart from thine eyes;
keep them in the midst of thine heart. 
For they are life unto those that find them,
and health to all their flesh."

[ Proverbs 4:20-22, KJV ]

"And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of
all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long,
and five cubits broad, and three cubits high,
and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood,
and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel,
and spread forth his hands toward heaven, And said,
O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven,
nor in the earth; which keepest covenant,
and shewest mercy unto thy servants,
that walk before thee with all their hearts:
Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father
that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth,
and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day."

[ 2 Chronicles 6:12-15, KJV ]

"Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye,
neither desire thou his dainty meats: For as he thinketh in his heart,
so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up,
and lose thy sweet words. Speak not in the ears of a fool:
for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."

[ Proverbs 23:6-9, KJV ]

"Because the carnal mind is enmity against God:
for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,
if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ,
he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. "

[ Romanss 8:7-11, KJV ]

"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
comfort the feebleminded, support the weak,
be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man;
but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves,
and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

[ 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18, KJV ]

"Confess your faults one to another,
and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much."

[ James 5:16, KJV ]

"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death"

[ Proverbs 16:25, KJV ]

"I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse,
or as the mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee."

[ Psalm 32:8-9, KJV ]

"Behold, we count them happy which endure.
Ye have heard of the patience of Job,
and have seen the end of the Lord;
that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven,
neither by the earth, neither by any other oath:
but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay;
lest ye fall into condemnation."

[ James 5:11-12, KJV ]

"The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him,
and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 
O fear the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no want to them that fear him."

[ Psalm 34:7-9, KJV ]

"No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
AAnd if a man also strive for masteries,
yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully."

[ 2 Timothy 2:4-5, KJV ]

"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly;
so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway."

[ 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, KJV ]

"He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the word which ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me. 
These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you. 
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you."

[ John 14:24-26, KJV ]

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:)
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

[ Matthew 6:31-34, KJV ]

"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world. Amen."

[ Matthew 28:18-20, KJV ]

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover."

[ Mark 16:15-18, KJV ]

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men,
him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men,
him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."

[ Matthew 10:32-33, KJV ]

"Cast not away therefore your confidence,
which hath great recompence of reward.
For ye have need of patience, that,
after ye have done the will of God,
ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while,
and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry."

[ Hebrews 10:35-37, KJV ]

"The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock,
whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars,
thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night,
(how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough?
if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?"

[ Obadiah 1:3-5, KJV ]

"Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another,
love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing:
but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life,
and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil,
and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it."

[ 1 Peter 3:8-11, KJV ]

"Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other:
for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
For if I by grace be a partaker,
why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do,
do all to the glory of God. Give none offence,
neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit,
but the profit of many, that they may be saved."

[ 1 Corinthians 10:29-33 KJV ]

(see also verses 5-13)

"If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish,
will he for a fish give him a serpent? 
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 
If ye then, being evil,
know how to give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?"

[ Luke 11:11-13, KJV ]

(see also verses 5-13)

"For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge,
that if one died for all, then were all dead:
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves,
but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:
yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh,
yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

[ 2 Corinthians 5:14-17, KJV ]

(see also verses 11-21)

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:
for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

[ Joshua 1:8-9, KJV ]

"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly;
so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection:
lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway."

[ 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, KJV ]

"For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead,
that they might be judged according to men in the flesh,
but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand:
be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."

[ 1 Peter 4:6-8, KJV ]

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God created he him;
male and female created he them."

[ Genesis 1:26-27, KJV ]

"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour,
for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost,
whom God hath given to them that obey him."

[ Acts 5:30-32, KJV ]

"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."

[ Proverbs 28:13, KJV ]

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be
brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
But as he which hath called you is holy,
so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy."

[ 1 Peter 1:13-16, KJV ]

"Mine enemies would daily swallow me up:
for they be many that fight against me,
O thou most High. What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust;
I will not fear what flesh can do unto me."

[ Psalm 56:2-4, KJV ]

"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands,
without wrath and doubting. In like manner also,
that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair,
or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works."

[ 1 Timothy 2:8-10, KJV ]

"I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me,
and set me in a large place. The LORD is on my side;
I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes."

[ Psalm 118:5-9, KJV ]
