• Romans 6:19

  I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

  For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

• 1 Corinthians 13:3

  If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

  Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud,

  doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

  doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;

• 2 Corinthians 9:10

  Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

  Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

  being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.

• 2 Timothy 2:22

  Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

• 2 Timothy 4:6

  For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

• 2 Timothy 4:7

  I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

• 2 Timothy 4:8

  From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

• Titus 2:2

  that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance:

• Titus 2:11

  For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

• Titus 2:12

  instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

• Titus 3:14

  Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful.

• Philemon 1:5

  hearing of your love, and of the faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all the saints;

• Philemon 1:6

  that the fellowship of your faith may become effective, in the knowledge of every good thing which is in us in Christ Jesus.

• James 1:27

  Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

• James 2:14

  What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can faith save him?

• James 2:15

  And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food,

• James 2:16

  and one of you tells them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled”; and yet you didn’t give them the things the body needs, what good is it?

• James 2:17

  Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself.

• James 2:18

  Yes, a man will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I by my works will show you my faith.

• James 2:19

  You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder.

• James 2:20

  But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

• James 2:21

  Wasn’t Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

• James 2:22

  You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected;

• James 2:23

  and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness”; and he was called the friend of God.

• James 2:24

  You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith.

• James 2:25

  In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way?

• James 2:26

  For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

• James 3:11

  Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?

• James 3:12

  Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

• James 3:13

  Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.

• James 3:14

  But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.

• James 3:15

  This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

• James 3:16

  For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

• James 3:17

  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

• James 3:18

  Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

• 1 Peter 3:1

  In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word;

• 1 Peter 3:2

  seeing your pure behavior in fear.

• 1 Peter 3:3

  Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;

• 1 Peter 3:4

  but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious.

• 1 Peter 3:5

  For this is how the holy women before, who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands:

• 1 Peter 3:6

  as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are, if you do well, and are not put in fear by any terror.

• 1 Peter 3:7

  You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered.

• 1 Peter 3:8

  Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tender hearted, courteous,

• 1 Peter 3:9

  not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing.

• 1 Peter 3:10

  For, “He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

• 1 Peter 3:11

  Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

• 1 Peter 3:14

  But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”

• 1 Peter 4:2

  that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

• 2 Peter 1:5

  Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

• 2 Peter 1:6

  and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control perseverance; and in perseverance godliness;

• 2 Peter 1:7

  and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

• 2 Peter 1:8

  For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• 2 Peter 1:9

  For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

• 1 John 2:3

  This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

• 1 John 2:4

  One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

• 1 John 2:5

  But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:

• 1 John 2:6

  he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

• 1 John 2:10

  He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

• 1 John 2:11

  But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

• 1 John 2:24

  Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

• 1 John 2:29

  If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

• 1 John 3:3

  Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

• 1 John 3:6

  Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

• 1 John 3:7

  Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

• 1 John 3:9

  Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

• 1 John 3:10

  In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

• 1 John 3:11

  For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

• 1 John 3:14

  We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.

• 1 John 3:17

  But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

• 1 John 3:18

  My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

• 1 John 3:19

  And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,

• 1 John 3:20

  because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

• 1 John 3:21

  Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

• 1 John 3:22

  and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

• 1 John 3:23

  This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

• 1 John 3:24

  He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

• 1 John 4:4

  You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world.

• 1 John 4:5

  They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.

• 1 John 4:6

  We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

• 1 John 4:7

  Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

• 1 John 4:8

  He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

• 1 John 4:9

  By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

• 1 John 4:10

  In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

• 1 John 4:11

  Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.

• 1 John 4:12

  No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

• 1 John 4:13

  By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

• 1 John 4:14

  We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

• 1 John 4:15

  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

• 1 John 4:16

  We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

• 1 John 4:17

  In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

• 1 John 4:18

  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.

• 1 John 4:19

  We love him, because he first loved us.

• 1 John 4:20

  If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

• 1 John 4:21

  This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
