Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!

The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing.

I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Sin has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within.

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

21 "You have heard that our ancestors were told, 'You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.' 22 But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment!

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
