1 Corinthians 4:7
7 For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive?
And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

1 Thessalonians 5
15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.

1 Thessalonians 5
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.

Colossians 3
12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3
15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Hebrews 12
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
Hebrews 12
28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Psalm 30
1 I will exalt you, Lord,� for you lifted me out of the depths� and did not let my enemies gloat over me.�2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,� and you healed me.�3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.

8 To you, Lord, I called;� to the Lord I cried for mercy:�9 “What is gained if I am silenced,� if I go down to the pit?�Will the dust praise you?� Will it proclaim your faithfulness?�
Psalm 30
10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;� Lord, be my help.”
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;� you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,�12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.� Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
