Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life — in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Better a poor man whose walk is blameless than a fool whose lips are perverse.

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

Blessed is the man you discipline, O LORD, the man you teach from your law.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Do not those who plot evil go astray? But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.

This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
