1 Thessalonians 5:21

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
