The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his way.
Many a man claims to have unfailing love, but a faithful man who can find?
Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
But if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don’t worry or be afraid of their threats.

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
We fight with weapons that are different from those the world uses. Our weapons have power from God that can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments and every proud thing that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Marriage is honourable among all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
You ought instead to say, If the Lord is willing, we shall live and we shall do this or that [thing].
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:
All of you must keep awake (give strict attention, be cautious and active) and watch and pray, that you may not come into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counsellors they are accomplished.

Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, Then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, from His mouth come knowledge and understanding,
I applied my heart to what I observed, and learned a lesson from what I saw
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
