Mark 14:38

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual sins, thefts, false testimony, and blasphemies.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Wisdom is supreme. Get wisdom. Yes, though it costs all your possessions, get understanding.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,

Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked: whoever guards his soul stays from them.

Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.

Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord’s work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord.

Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you, always striving for you in his prayers, that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

Be courageous, and let’s be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and may Yahweh do what seems good to him.”

We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it with thanksgiving,

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

Pray without ceasing.

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”

He said, “Greatly beloved man, don’t be afraid. Peace be to you. Be strong. Yes, be strong.” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak; for you have strengthened me.”

if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray, and not give up,

No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

and don’t give place to the devil.

In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch.”

Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
