But his delight is in the law of
the Lord, and on his law he
meditates day and night.
(Psalm 1:2)
ESV
But he would withdraw to desolate
places and pray.
(Luke 5:16)
ESV
“One who is faithful in a very
little is also faithful in much,
and one who is dishonest in a very
little is also dishonest in much.
If then you have not been faithful
in the unrighteous wealth, who
will entrust to you the true
riches? And if you have not been
faithful in that which is
another's, who will give you that
which is your own?
(Luke 16:10-12)
ESV
No servant can serve two masters,
for either he will hate the one
and love the other, or he will be
devoted to the one and despise the
other. You cannot serve God and
money.
(Luke 16:13)
ESV
A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another: just as
I have loved you, you also are to
love one another. By this all
people will know that you are my
disciples, if you have love for
one another.”
(John 13:34,35)
ESV
In all things I have shown you
that by working hard in this way
we must help the weak and remember
the words of the Lord Jesus, how
he himself said, ‘It is more
blessed to give than to receive.’
(Acts 20:35)
ESV
I appeal to you therefore,
brothers, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies as a living
sacrifice, holy and acceptable to
God, which is your spiritual
worship.
(Romans 12:1)
ESV
Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewal
of your mind, that by testing you
may discern what is the will of
God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect.
(Romans 12:2)
ESV
Be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, as God in Christ forgave
you.
(Ephesians 4:32)
ESV
Complete my joy by being of the
same mind, having the same love,
being in full accord and of one
mind. Do nothing from rivalry or
conceit, but in humility count
others more significant than
yourselves. Let each of you look
not only to his own interests, but
also to the interests of others.
Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus,
who, though he was in the form of
God, did not count equality with
God a thing to be grasped, ...
(Philippians 2:2-8)
ESV
Finally, brothers, whatever is
true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is
pure, whatever is lovely, whatever
is commendable, if there is any
excellence, if there is anything
worthy of praise, think about
these things. What you have
learned and received and heard and
seen in me—practice these things,
and the God of peace will be with
you.
(Philippians 4:8,9)
ESV
And whatever you do, in word or
deed, do everything in the name of
the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through him.
(Colossians 3:17)
ESV
Let brotherly love continue. Do
not neglect to show hospitality to
strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels unawares.
Remember those who are in prison,
as though in prison with them, and
those who are mistreated, since
you also are in the body.
(Hebrews 13:1-3)
ESV
But be doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving
yourselves. For if anyone is a
hearer of the word and not a doer,
he is like a man who looks
intently at his natural face in a
mirror. For he looks at himself
and goes away and at once forgets
what he was like. But the one who
looks into the perfect law, the
law of liberty, and perseveres,
being no hearer who forgets but a
doer who acts, he will be blessed
in his doing. If anyone thinks he
is religious and does not bridle
his tongue but deceives his heart,
this person's religion is
worthless. ...
(James 1:22-27)
ESV1
