Hebrews 10:26

26 For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins,

Philippians 4:8

8 Furthermore brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are honorable, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as have good-repute; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, reason on these things.

Romans 12:2

2 And not to fashion yourselves to this age, but be transfigured by the renewal of your mind, that you may be proving in you what is the will of God: the good and acceptable and mature.

Ephesians 5:1-33

1 Therefore become imitators of God, as beloved children, 2 and walk in love, just-as the Christ also loved us and gave himself up on our behalf as an offering and a sacrifice to God for an aroma of a sweet-fragrance.
3 But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or greed even be named among you, as is suitable to holy-ones; 4 and do not let obscenity, and foolish-talk or petty jesting, which are not proper, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor greedy person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words; for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become joint partakers with them. 8 For you were previously in darkness, but now you\'b0 are 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 testing what is well pleasing to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship together with the unfruitful works of darkness, but also rather reprove them; 12 for it is shameful even to speak of the things happening by them covertly. 13 But being reproved, all things are manifested by the light; for everything which is manifested is light. 14 Hence he says, Arise, you who are sleeping and rise up from the dead and the Christ will appear upon you.
15 Therefore beware, how accurately you are walking, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 buying up the time, because the days are evil. 17 Because of this, do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be drunken with wine, in which there is riotousness, but be filled in the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and singing-praise in your heart to the Lord; 20 giving-thanks always on behalf of all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God and Father; 21 being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
22 The wives be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 Because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is also the head of the congregation of believers, he is the savior of the body. 24 But just-like the congregation is subject to the Christ, so let the wives also be subject to their own husbands in all things.
25 The husbands, love*\'b0 your own wives, just-as the Christ also loved the congregation and gave himself up on her behalf; 26 in order that he might make her holy, having cleansed her in the full-washing of the water in the word, 27 in order that he might present her to himself, the glorious congregation, not having stain or wrinkle or any such things, but in order that she should be holy and unblemished. 28 So the husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but is nourishing and cherishing it, just-as the Lord also does the congregation of believers; 30 because we are members of his body, out of his flesh and out of his bones. 31 Because of this, a man will be leaving his father and mother and will be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great, but I am speaking in regard to Christ and in regard to the congregation of believers. 33 However to you also, let each, one to one, love his own wife like himself, and let the wife see that she should fear her husband.

James 5:12

12 My brethren, but before all things, do not swear, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your yes be yes and your no be no; in order that you may not fall into hypocrisy.

Matthew 12:36

36 But I am saying to you, that every idle declaration, whatever men speak, they will be giving an account in the day of judgment concerning it.

Matthew 15:11

11 Not what enters into the mouth desecrates the man, but what is traveling from the mouth, this desecrates the man.

James 3:10

10 A thanks and a curse comes out of the same mouth. My brethren, these things do not need to become so!

Ephesians 4:29

29 Do not let any rotten speech travel from your mouth. But if something is good for the building up of a need, do this in order that it may give a favor to those who are hearing.

8 But also now, place all these things away from yourselves: anger, fury, malice, blasphemy, obscene speech from your mouth.
