..Warn those who are idle, encourage the timid,
help the weak, be patient with everyone.

It is better to heed a wise man's rebuke
than to listen to the song of fools.

Without wood a fire goes out;
without gossip a quarrel dies down.

Seek the Lord, all who are humble, and follow his commands.
Seek to do what is right and to live humbly.
Perhaps even yet the Lord will protect you—
protect you from his anger on that day of destruction.

.... All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another,
because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."

Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.
The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.

Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles
You performed among them. They became stiff-necked
and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery.
But You are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore You did not desert them.

A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

For where two or three come together in my name,
there am I with them.
