Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.

Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.

For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.

For, “Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.”

What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?

For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life.

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.

What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.

Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.

For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

See, the enemy is puffed up; his desires are not upright— but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness.

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

The Lord will rescue his servants; no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.”
