16 For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave,––that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age–abiding.

John 3:16
Luke 16:19-31
19 Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
20 And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
21 and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
23 And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And, he, calling out, said––Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue,––because I am in anguish in this flame.
25 But Abraham said––Child! remember––That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.
26 And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed,––so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
27 But he said––I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house,––
28 for I have five brethren; ––that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
29 But Abraham saith––They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
30 But, he, said––Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
31 But he said unto him––If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
Ephesians 6:12
12 Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but, against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world–holders, of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenlies.
Ephesians 6:1
1 Ye children, be obedient unto your parents [in the Lord], for this is right:
1 Peter 2:1-25
1 Putting away, therefore, all vice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envyings and all detractions,
2 As new–born babes, for the pure milk that is for the mind, eagerly crave, that, thereby, ye may grow unto salvation:––
3 If ye have tasted for yourselves that, gracious, is the Lord,––
4 Unto whom coming near, as unto a living stone––by men, indeed, rejected, but, with God, chosen, held in honour, 5 Yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, for a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices, well–pleasing unto God through Jesus Christ; 6 Inasmuch as it is contained in scripture––Lo! I lay in Zion an outmost corner stone, chosen, held in honour, and, he that resteth faith thereupon, shall not be put to shame. 7 Unto you, then, is the honour––[unto you] who believe; but, unto such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected,––The same, hath become head of the corner, 8 And a stone to strike against, and a rock to stumble over: Who stumble because, unto the word, they do not yield,––unto which also they have been appointed; 9 But, ye, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for a peculiar treasure, that, the excellences, ye may tell forth, of him who, out of darkness, hath called you into his marvelous light:–– 10 Who, at one time, were a No–people, but, now, are a people of God,––who had not been enjoying mercy, but, now, have received mercy. 11 Beloved! I exhort you, as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly covetings, such as take the field against the soul; 12 Having, your behaviour among the nations, honourable,––in order that, wherein they speak against you as evil–doers, they may, owing to the honourable works they are permitted to behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Submit yourselves unto every human creation, for the Lord’s sake,––whether unto a king, as one that protecteth, 14 Or unto governors, as, through him, sent––for vengeance on evil–doers, but praise to such as do good; 15 Because, so, is the will of God,––by doing good, to be putting to silence, the ignorance of heedless men: 16 As free, yet, not as a cloak of vice, holding your freedom, but, as God’s servants. 17 Unto all men, give honour, unto the brotherhood, shew love, unto God, give reverence, the king, hold in honour. 18 Ye domestics, submitting yourselves, in all reverence, unto your masters,––not only unto the good and considerate, but also unto the perverse; 19 For, this, is thankworthy,––If, for the sake of conscience towards God, one beareth griefs, suffering wrongfully,–– 20 For what sort of honour is it––if, committing sin, and being buffeted, ye endure it? But, if, doing good, and suffering, ye endure it, this, is thankworthy with God. 21 For, hereunto, have ye been called; because, Christ also, suffered in your behalf, unto you, leaving behind a pattern, that ye might follow in his steps: 22 Who did not, a sin, commit, neither was deceit found in his mouth,–– 23 Who, being reviled, was not reviling again, suffering, he was not threatening, but was making surrender unto him that judgeth righteously,–– 24 Who, our sins, himself, bare up, in his body, unto the tree, in order that we, from our sins getting away, in righteousness, might live,––by whose stripes, ye have been healed; 25 For ye were as sheep going astray, but have now turned back unto the shepherd and overseer of your souls.

Proverbs 16:28-30
Proverbs 24:1-34
1 Be not thou envious of wicked men, neither crave to be with them;
2 For, violence, their heart muttereth, and, mischief, their lips do speak.
3 In wisdom, is a house builded, and, in understanding, is it established; 4 And, in knowledge, chambers are filled, with all acquisitions, costly and fair. 5 A wise man, is mighty, and, a man of knowledge, becometh alert in vigour. 6 Surely, with concerted measures, shalt thou make for thyself war, and, success, lieth in the greatness of the counselor.
7 Unattainable to a foolish man, are the dictates of wisdom, in the gate, he openeth not his mouth. 8 He that deviseth to do mischief, him, shall men call, a master of plots. 9 The purpose of folly, is sin, and, an abomination to mankind, is a buffoon.
10 Thou hast been slothful in the day of straitness, Strait, is thy strength.
11 Deliver thou such as are being led forth to death, and, them who are tottering to slaughter, oh that thou wouldst hold back! 12 Though thou say, Lo! we knew not this, Shall not, he that proveth hearts, himself, discern? And, he that formeth thy soul, himself, know? and bring back to a son of earth according to his deed?
13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good,––and droppings from the comb [because they are] sweet to thy palate: 14 Thus, take knowledge of wisdom, for thine own soul; If thou find it, then there is a future, and, thine expectation, shall not be cut off.
15 Do not lie in wait, thou lawless man, against the home of the righteous,––neither destroy thou his place of rest; 16 For, seven times, may the righteous fall and yet arise, but, lawless men, shall stumble into calamity.
17 When thine enemy falleth, do not thou rejoice, and, when he stumbleth, let not thy heart exult: 18 Lest Yahweh see it, and it be wicked in his eyes, and he turn away from him his anger.
19 Burn not with vexation against evil doers, be not envious of lawless men; 20 For there shall be no future for the wicked, The lamp of the lawless, shall go out.
21 Revere thou Yahweh, my son, and the king, and, with the fickle, have thou no fellowship; 22 For, suddenly, shall arise their calamity; and, the misfortune of their years, who knoweth?
23 These things also, concern the wise, To take note of faces in judgment, is not good. 24 He that saith to the lawless man, Righteous, thou art, peoples shall denounce him, populations shall curse him; 25 But, to reprovers, one should be pleasant, and, upon them, should come an excellent blessing: 26 Lips, should one kiss with one who answereth in right words.
27 Prepare, in the open, thy work, and make ready, in the field, for thyself, Afterwards, shalt thou build thy house.
28 Do not become a needless witness against thy neighbour, so mightest thou open too wide thy lips: 29 Do not say––According to what he hath done to me, so, will I do to him, I will repay every one according to his work.
30 By the field of the sluggard, I passed, and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense; 31 And lo! there had come up all over it––thorns, there had covered the face thereof––thistles, and, the stone fence thereof, had been thrown down. 32 So I observed it, for myself, I applied my heart, I looked––I accepted correction: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest: 34 So shall come in, as a highwayman, thy poverty, and, thy want, as one armed with a shield.

9 Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:

3 Honour, hath the man who sitteth away from strife, but, any fool, may break through.
Matthew 5:44
44 But, I, say unto you, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting you:
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 These six things, doth Yahweh hate, yea, seven, are the abomination of his soul:––
17 Eyes that are lofty, a tongue that is false, and hands shedding innocent blood;
18 A heart contriving iniquitous devices, feet hasting to run into mischief;
19 One that uttereth lies––a false witness, and one sending forth strifes between brethren.
Romans 16:17
17 But I beseech you, brethren, to keep an eye upon them who are causing divisions and occasions of stumbling, aside from the teaching which, ye, have learned,––and be turning away from them;
