A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men.

remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
