Psalms 51:10

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

But you be strong, and don’t let your hands be slack; for your work will be rewarded.”

For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh;

Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

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.

Jesus answered him, “Most certainly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can’t see God’s Kingdom.”

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

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

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father.

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

For in Christ Jesus neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

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.

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

Therefore I consider all of your precepts to be right. I hate every false way.

He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”

Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good, and the good of their children after them.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

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.

Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

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.

and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.

I have seen your abominations, even your adulteries, and your neighing, the lewdness of your prostitution, on the hills in the field. Woe to you, Jerusalem! You will not be made clean. How long will it yet be?”

“ ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “For this, moreover, I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,

He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.

People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.

Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!

He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day.

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith,

let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

for on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you. You shall be clean from all your sins before Yahweh.

Yahweh, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this desire forever in the thoughts of the heart of your people, and prepare their heart for you;

Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,

Turn us again, God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.

Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
