Way of true Christianity

   1 Tim 6:11   Thou, O man of God ... follow after righteousness, 
   godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 

   2 Tim 2:19    Let every one that nameth the name of Christ 
   depart from iniquity.  {22} Flee also youthful lusts: but 
   follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that 
   call on the Lord out of a pure heart.  {24} And the servant of 
   the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to 
   teach, patient, {25} In meekness instructing those that oppose 
   themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to 
   the acknowledging of the truth; 

   Gal 5:22-23   But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
   longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, {23} Meekness, 
   temperance: against such there is no law. 

   Gal 5:26   Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one 
   another, envying one another. 

   Rom 12:9-21   Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that 
   which is evil; cleave to that which is good. {10} Be kindly 
   affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour 
   preferring one another; {11} Not slothful in business; fervent 
   in spirit; serving the Lord; {12} Rejoicing in hope; patient in 
   tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; {13} Distributing to 
   the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. {14} Bless them 
   which persecute you: bless, and curse not. {15} Rejoice with 
   them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. {16} Be of 
   the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but 
   condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own 
   conceits. {17} Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide 
   things honest in the sight of all men. {18} If it be possible, 
   as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. {19} 
   Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place 
   unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, 
   saith the Lord. {20} Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; 
   if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap 
   coals of fire on his head. {21} Be not overcome of evil, but 
   overcome evil with good. 

   1 Cor 6:9-10   Do you not know that the unrighteous will not 
   inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither 
   fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, 
   nor sodomites, {10} nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 
   nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 

   Gal 5:19-21   Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which 
   are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 
   {20} Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, 
   strife, seditions, heresies, {21} Envyings, murders, 
   drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of the which I tell you 
   before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which 
   do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

   Eph 4:1  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you 
   that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 
   {2} With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, 
   forbearing one another in love; (17) This I say therefore, and 
   testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other 
   Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, {18} Having the 
   understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God 
   through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness 
   of their heart: {19} Who being past feeling have given 
   themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness 
   with greediness. (22) That ye put off concerning the former 
   conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the 
   deceitful lusts; {23} And be renewed in the spirit of your 
   mind; {24} And that ye put on the new man, which after God is 
   created in righteousness and true holiness. {25} Wherefore 
   putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: 
   for we are members one of another. {26} Be ye angry, and sin 
   not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: {27} Neither give 
   place to the devil. {28} Let him that stole steal no more: but 
   rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which 
   is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. {29} Let 
   no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that 
   which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister 
   grace unto the hearers. {30} And grieve not the holy Spirit of 
   God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. {31} Let 
   all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil 
   speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: {32} And be ye 
   kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even 
   as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 

   Eph 5:1-12   Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear 
   children; {2} And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, 
   and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to 
   God for a sweetsmelling savour. {3} But fornication, and all 
   uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among 
   you, as becometh saints; {4} Neither filthiness, nor foolish 
   talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather 
   giving of thanks. {5} For this ye know, that no whoremonger, 
   nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath 
   any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. {6} Let no 
   man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things 
   cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. {7} 
   Be not ye therefore partakers with them. {8} For ye were 
   sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as 
   children of light: {9} (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all 
   goodness and righteousness and truth;) {10} Proving what is 
   acceptable unto the Lord. {11} And have no fellowship with the 
   unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. {12} For 
   it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of 
   them in secret. (15)  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not 
   as fools, but as wise, {16} Redeeming the time, because the 
   days are evil. {17} Wherefore be ye not unwise, but 
   understanding what the will of the Lord is. {18} And be not 
   drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the 
   Spirit; {19} Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and 
   spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the 
   Lord; {20} Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the 
   Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 

   Phil 2:3-4   Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; 
   but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than 
   themselves. {4} Look not every man on his own things, but every 
   man also on the things of others.  

   Col 3:5-10   Mortify therefore your members which are upon the 
   earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil 
   concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: {6} For 
   which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of 
   disobedience: {7} In the which ye also walked some time, when 
   ye lived in them. {8} But now ye also put off all these: anger, 
   wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your 
   mouth. {9} Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off 
   the old man with his deeds; {10} And have put on the new man, 
   which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that 
   created him: 

   Col 3:12-15   Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and 
   beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, 
   meekness, longsuffering; {13} Forbearing one another, and 
   forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: 
   even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. {14} And above all 
   these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 
   {15} And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which 
   also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 

   1 Th 4:3-4   For this is the will of God, even your 
   sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: {4} 
   That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in 
   sanctification and honour;  {7}  For God hath not called us 
   unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 

   Eph 6:10-18   Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and 
   in the power of his might. {11} Put on the whole armour of God, 
   that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 
   {12} For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against 
   principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the 
   darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high 
   places. {13} Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, 
   that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having 
   done all, to stand. {14} Stand therefore, having your loins 
   girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of 
   righteousness; {15} And your feet shod with the preparation of 
   the gospel of peace; {16} Above all, taking the shield of 
   faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts 
   of the wicked. {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the 
   sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: {18} Praying 
   always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and 
   watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for 
   all saints; 

   Rom 13:1-10   Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 
   For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are 
   ordained of God. {2} Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, 
   resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall 
   receive to themselves damnation. {3} For rulers are not a 
   terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be 
   afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have 
   praise of the same: {4} For he is the minister of God to thee 
   for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he 
   beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a 
   revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. {5} 
   Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but 
   also for conscience sake. {6} For for this cause pay ye tribute 
   also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon 
   this very thing. {7} Render therefore to all their dues: 
   tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to 
   whom fear; honour to whom honour. {8} Owe no man any thing, but 
   to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled 
   the law. {9} For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou 
   shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false 
   witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other 
   commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, 
   Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. {10} Love worketh no 
   ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the 
   law.
    
   Rom 13:12-14  Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, 
   and let us put on the armor of light. {13} Let us walk 
   properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in 
   lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. {14} But put on the 
   Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to 
   fulfill its lusts. 

   Rom 14:17   For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but 
   righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 

   Rom 14:19   Let us therefore follow after the things which make 
   for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 

   Rom 16:19   I would have you wise unto that which is good, and 
   simple concerning evil. 

   1 Cor 12:31  And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.  
   13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and 
   have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling 
   cymbal. {2} And though I have the gift of prophecy, and 
   understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have 
   all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not 
   charity, I am nothing. {3} And though I bestow all my goods to 
   feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have 
   not charity, it profiteth me nothing. {4} Charity suffereth 
   long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not 
   itself, is not puffed up, {5} Doth not behave itself unseemly, 
   seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 
   {6} Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; {7} 
   Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, 
   endureth all things. 

   2 Cor 7:1   Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, 
   let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and 
   spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 

   Phil 2:14-15   Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 
   {15} 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; 

   Phil 4:8   Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, 
   whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, 
   whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, 
   whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, 
   and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

   1 Th 5:5   Ye are all the children of light, and the children 
   of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

   1 Th 5:14-15   Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are 
   unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient 
   toward all men. {15} See that none render evil for evil unto 
   any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among 
   yourselves, and to all men.   {22} Abstain from all 
   appearance of evil. 

   1 Tim 1:5   Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a 
   pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 

   1 Tim 4:7,8   Exercise yourself to Godliness. For bodily 
   exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all 
   things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that 
   which is to come. 

   1 Tim 4:12   Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an 
   example of the believers, in word, in conduct, in charity, in 
   spirit, in faith, in purity. 

   1 Tim 6:6-8   But godliness with contentment is great gain.  
   For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can 
   carry nothing out.  And having food and raiment let us be 
   therewith content. 
    
   Heb 13:5   Let your conduct be without covetousness; and be 
   content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will 
   never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 

   Titus 1:7-9   For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of 
   God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no 
   striker, not given to filthy lucre; {8} But a lover of 
   hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 
   {9} Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that 
   he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince 
   the gainsayers. 
  
   Titus 2:1-12    But speak thou the things which become sound 
   doctrine: {2} That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, 
   sound in faith, in charity, in patience. {3} The aged women 
   likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not 
   false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good 
   things; {4} That they may teach the young women to be sober, to 
   love their husbands, to love their children, {5} To be 
   discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own 
   husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. {6} Young men 
   likewise exhort to be sober minded. {7} In all things showing 
   thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing 
   uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, {8} Sound speech, that 
   cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may 
   be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. {9} Exhort 
   servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please 
   them well in all things; not answering again; {10} Not 
   purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn 
   the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. {11} For the 
   grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 
   {12} Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, 
   we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present 
   world; 

   Titus 3:1-3   Put them in mind to be subject to principalities 
   and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good 
   work, {2} To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but 
   gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. {3} For we ourselves 
   also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving 
   divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, 
   and hating one another. 

   Titus 3:8-9   This is a faithful saying, and these things I 
   will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed 
   in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things 
   are good and profitable unto men. {9} But avoid foolish 
   questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings 
   about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 

   Heb 12:14   Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without 
   which no man shall see the Lord: 

   James 1:19   Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be 
   swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 

   James 1:21   Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity 
   of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, 
   which is able to save your souls. 

   James 1:27   Pure religion and undefiled before God and the 
   Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their 
   affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. 

   James 3:17   But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, 
   then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy 
   and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 

   James 4:4   Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that 
   the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever 
   therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 

   1 Peter 1:13-17    Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be 
   sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be 
   brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; {14} as 
   obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former 
   lusts, as in your ignorance; {15} but as He who called you is 
   holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, {16} because it is 
   written, "Be holy, for I am holy." {17} And if you call on the 
   Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's 
   work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here 
   in fear; 

   1 Peter 2:1-2    Therefore, laying aside all malice, all 
   deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, {2} as newborn 
   babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow 
   thereby,
    
   1 Pet 2:9   But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, 
   an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth 
   the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his 
   marvellous light: 

   1 Peter 2:11-25    Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and 
   pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the 
   soul, {12} having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, 
   that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by 
   your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of 
   visitation. {13} Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance 
   of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme, 
   {14} or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the 
   punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do 
   good. {15} For this is the will of God, that by doing good you 
   may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men; {16} as free, 
   yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants 
   of God. {17} Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. 
   Honor the king. {18} Servants, be submissive to your masters 
   with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the 
   harsh. {19} For this is commendable, if because of conscience 
   toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. {20} For 
   what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you 
   take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take 
   it patiently, this is commendable before God. {21} For to this 
   you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving 
   us an example, that you should follow His steps: {22} "Who 
   committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth"; {23} who, 
   when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He 
   suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who 
   judges righteously; {24} who Himself bore our sins in His own 
   body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for 
   righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. {25} For you 
   were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the 
   Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 

   1 Peter 3:1-4    Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own 
   husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without 
   a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, {2} when they 
   observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. {3} Do not let 
   your adornment be merely outward; arranging the hair, wearing 
   gold, or putting on fine apparel; {4} rather let it be the 
   hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a 
   gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of 
   God. 

   1 Peter 3:8-18    Finally, all of you be of one mind, having 
   compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, 
   be courteous; {9} not returning evil for evil or reviling for 
   reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were 
   called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. {10} For "He 
   who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his 
   tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. {11} Let 
   him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and 
   pursue it. {12} For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, 
   And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the 
   LORD is against those who do evil." {13} And who is he who will 
   harm you if you become followers of what is good? {14} But even 
   if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. 
   "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled." {15} 
   But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready 
   to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the 
   hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; {16} having a good 
   conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who 
   revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. {17} For it 
   is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good 
   than for doing evil. {18} For Christ also suffered once for 
   sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, 
   being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 

   1 Peter 4:8-9    And above all things have fervent love for one 
   another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." {9} Be 
   hospitable to one another without grumbling. 

   1 Peter 5:5-8    Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves 
   to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, 
   and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, But 
   gives grace to the humble." {6} Therefore humble yourselves 
   under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due 
   time, {7} casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 
   {8} Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil 
   walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 

   2 Peter 1:5-8    But also for this very reason, giving all 
   diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, {6} 
   to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to 
   perseverance godliness, {7} to godliness brotherly kindness, 
   and to brotherly kindness love. {8} For if these things are 
   yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in 
   the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

   1 John 1:5-10    This is the message which we have heard from 
   Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no 
   darkness at all. {6} If we say that we have fellowship with 
   Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the 
   truth. {7} But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, 
   we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus 
   Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. {8} If we say that we 
   have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 
   {9} If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive 
   us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. {10} If 
   we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His 
   word is not in us. 

   1 John 2:9-11    He who says he is in the light, and hates his 
   brother, is in darkness until now. {10} He who loves his 
   brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for 
   stumbling in him. {11} But he who hates his brother is in 
   darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is 
   going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 

   1 John 2:15-17    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. {16} For all that is in the world; the lust of the 
   flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of 
   the Father but is of the world. {17} And the world is passing 
   away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God 
   abides forever. 

   1 John 3:14-18    We know that we have passed from death to 
   life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his 
   brother abides in death. {15} Whoever hates his brother is a 
   murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life 
   abiding in him. {16} By this we know love, because He laid down 
   His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for 
   the brethren. {17} But whoever has this world's goods, and sees 
   his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does 
   the love of God abide in him? {18} My little children, let us 
   not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 

   1 John 4:7-13    Beloved, let us love one another, for love is 
   of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 
   {8} He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 
   {9} In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God 
   has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might 
   live through Him. {10} In this is love, not that we loved God, 
   but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation 
   for our sins. {11} Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought 
   to love one another. {12} No one has seen God at any time. If 
   we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been 
   perfected in us. {13} By this we know that we abide in Him, and 
   He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 

   1 John 4:20-21    If someone says, "I love God," and hates his 
   brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother 
   whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 
   {21} And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves 
   God must love his brother also. 

   Mat 5:1-12   And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a 
   mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto 
   him: {2} And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 
   {3} Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the 
   kingdom of heaven. {4} Blessed are they that mourn: for 
   they shall be comforted. {5} Blessed are the meek: for 
   they shall inherit the earth. {6} Blessed are they which 
   do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall 
   be filled. {7} Blessed are the merciful: for they shall 
   obtain mercy. {8} Blessed are the pure in heart: for they 
   shall see God. {9} Blessed are the peacemakers: for they 
   shall be called the children of God. {10} Blessed are they 
   which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs 
   is the kingdom of heaven. {11} Blessed are ye, when men 
   shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all 
   manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. {12} 
   Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward 
   in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were 
   before you. 

   Mat 5:38-46   Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye 
   for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: {39} But I say unto 
   you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite 
   thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. {40} 
   And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy 
   coat, let him have thy cloak also. {41} And whosoever 
   shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. {42} 
   Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would 
   borrow of thee turn not thou away. {43} Ye have heard that 
   it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate 
   thine enemy. {44} But I say unto you, Love your enemies, 
   bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, 
   and pray for them which despitefully use you, and 
   persecute you; {45} That ye may be the children of your 
   Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise 
   on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just 
   and on the unjust. {46} For if ye love them which love 
   you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the 
   same? 

   Mat 6:1-6   Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, 
   to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your 
   Father which is in heaven. {2} Therefore when thou doest 
   thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the 
   hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that 
   they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They 
   have their reward. {3} But when thou doest alms, let not 
   thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: {4} That 
   thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in 
   secret himself shall reward thee openly. {5} And when thou 
   prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they 
   love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners 
   of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say 
   unto you, They have their reward. {6} But thou, when thou 
   prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut 
   thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy 
   Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 

   Mat 6:19-21  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon 
   earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
   break through and steal: {20} But lay up for yourselves 
   treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth 
   corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 
   {21} For where your treasure is, there will your heart be 
   also. 

   Mat 7:1-4   Judge not, that ye be not judged. {2} For with 
   what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what 
   measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. {3} 
   And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's 
   eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own 
   eye? {4} Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull 
   out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in 
   thine own eye? 

   Mat 20:25-28   But Jesus called them unto him, and said, 
   Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion 
   over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon 
   them. {26} But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever 
   will be great among you, let him be your minister; {27} 
   And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your 
   servant: {28} Even as the Son of man came not to be 
   ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a 
   ransom for many. 

   Mat 22:35-40   Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked 
   him a question, tempting him, and saying, {36} Master, 
   which is the great commandment in the law? {37} Jesus said 
   unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy 
   heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. {38} 
   This is the first and great commandment. {39} And the 
   second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as 
   thyself. {40} On these two commandments hang all the law 
   and the prophets.
