Proverbs 16:18
Proverbs 22:24-25
Matthew 7:16
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Matthew 18:15-17
15 "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
John 3:19
19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil.
Ephesians 6:4
4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
1 John 2:1-29
1 My little children, I write this to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commands.
4 He who says, 'I know him,' but does not obey his commands, is a liar and the truth is not in him;
5 But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
6 Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.
7 Dearly beloved, I am not writing you a new command, but an old one that you have had from the beginning. That old command is the message that you have heard.
8 Yet I am writing you a new commandment, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
9 If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
10 He who loves his Brother is always in the Light, and there is nothing within him to cause him to stumble;
11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him, who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, children, because you have known the Father.
14 I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.
17 The world and its desires (lusts) are passing away; but he who does the will of God lives forever.
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come; by this we know that it is the last hour.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know the truth.
21 I did not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is the liar, if it is not the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24 As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is what he has promised useternal life.
26 I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you.
27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not have need that anyone teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you reside in him.
28 And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does right has been born of him.
Proverbs 4:16
16 For they do not sleep, unless they do evil. Their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall.
Psalms 36:1-3
1 For the Chief Musician. By David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
Matthew 7:1-5
1 Do not judge, or you will be judged.
2 For with the same judgment you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 And why do you look for the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye but ignore the board in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is a plank in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
Titus 1:16
16 They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown Him; they are detestable, disobedient, and useless for anything good.
Proverbs 18:12
12 Before shattering, a man's heart is haughty, but humility goes before honor.
Romans 16:17-19
17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.
18 For such as these are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice over you. But I want you to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil.
Philippians 2:1-30
1 Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Yea, let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to deatheven death on a cross.
9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place, and gave Him the name above all names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world
16 as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news of you.
20 I do not have anyone else like him who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.
21 For everyone else is looking out for his own interests, not for those of Jesus Christ.
22 But you know that he has proved his worth, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
23 I hope to send him as soon as I see how it goes with me.
24 Still, I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.
26 For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.
27 Indeed he was sick, and near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but also on me, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may have less anxiety.
29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,
30 because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to provide me with what you were not able to.
1 Peter 5:5-6
2 Timothy 3:1-7
1 Mark this, there are hard times coming in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 Treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God;
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And turn away from these.
6 They are the kind of people who enter homes and influence [morally] weak-willed women, loaded down with sins, [and] led on by all kinds of evil desires.
7 Ever learning, but never able to acknowledge the truth.
