Worldly Things

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. …

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God.

Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.

It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,

The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.

What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
