1 CORINTHIANS 15:33-34 (NLT)
Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.”
Think carefully about what is right, and stop sinning.
For to your shame I say that some of you don’t know God at all.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:14 (NLT)
Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers.
How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness?
How can light live with darkness?
ROMANS 12:9 (NLT)
Don’t just pretend to love others.
Really love them.
Hate what is wrong.
Hold tightly to what is good.
JAMES 4:7-8 (NLT)
So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Come close to God, and God will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.
ROMANS 12:1-2 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.
Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable.
This is truly the way to worship him.
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.
Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.'''
2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 (NLT)
So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.
We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”
2 CORINTHIANS 4:4 (NLT)
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe.
They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News.
They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
GALATIANS 5:19-21 (NLT)
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these.
Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
GALATIANS 2:20 (NLT)
My old self has been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.
So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
