No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man. And God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said, "I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you."

Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know that they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome, but he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged,read more.
with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in quarreling and jealousy.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power and love and self-discipline.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
