The fool says in his heart, “There
is no God.” They are corrupt, they
do abominable deeds, there is none
who does good.
(Psalm 14:1)
ESV
The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of knowledge; fools
despise wisdom and instruction.
(Proverbs 1:7)
ESV
Do not say, “I will do to him as
he has done to me; I will pay the
man back for what he has done.”
(Proverbs 24:29)
ESV
The words of the Preacher, the son
of David, king in Jerusalem.
Vanity of vanities, says the
Preacher, vanity of vanities! All
is vanity. What does man gain by
all the toil at which he toils
under the sun? A generation goes,
and a generation comes, but the
earth remains forever. The sun
rises, and the sun goes down, and
hastens to the place where it
rises. ...
(Ecclesiastes 1:1-18)
ESV
For what will it profit a man if
he gains the whole world and
forfeits his soul? Or what shall a
man give in return for his soul?
(Matthew 16:26)
ESV
The natural person does not accept
the things of the Spirit of God,
for they are folly to him, and he
is not able to understand them
because they are spiritually
discerned.
(1 Corinthians 2:14)
ESV
Do not be deceived: God is not
mocked, for whatever one sows,
that will he also reap. For the
one who sows to his own flesh will
from the flesh reap corruption,
but the one who sows to the Spirit
will from the Spirit reap eternal
life.
(Galatians 6:7,8)
ESV
So that we may no longer be
children, tossed to and fro by the
waves and carried about by every
wind of doctrine, by human
cunning, by craftiness in
deceitful schemes.
(Ephesians 4:14)
ESV
Put to death therefore what is
earthly in you: sexual immorality,
impurity, passion, evil desire,
and covetousness, which is
idolatry.
(Colossians 3:5)
ESV
In these you too once walked, when
you were living in them. But now
you must put them all away: anger,
wrath, malice, slander, and
obscene talk from your mouth.
(Colossians 3:7,8)
ESV
Know this, my beloved brothers:
let every person be quick to hear,
slow to speak, slow to anger; for
the anger of man does not produce
the righteousness of God.
(James 1:19,20)
ESV
If anyone thinks he is religious
and does not bridle his tongue but
deceives his heart, this person's
religion is worthless.
(James 1:26)
ESV
Do not love the world or the
things in the world. If anyone
loves the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all that
is in the world—the desires of the
flesh and the desires of the eyes
and pride in possessions—is not
from the Father but is from the
world. And the world is passing
away along with its desires, but
whoever does the will of God
abides forever.
(1 John 2:15-17)
ESV1
