To make them (C)lie down safely.

Titus 3:3-5
New King James Version
3 For (A)we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when (B)the kindness and the love of (C)God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 (D)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through (E)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

Colossians 3:3-8
New King James Version
3 (A)For you died, (B)and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 (C)When Christ who is (D)our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in (E)glory.
5 (F)Therefore put to death (G)your members which are on the earth: (H)fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, (I)which is idolatry. 6 (J)Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon (K)the sons of disobedience, 7 (L)in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.
8 (M)But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

New King James Version
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

(C)But you were washed, but you were [c]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Ephesians 4:22-32
New King James Version
22 that you (A)put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and (B)be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you (C)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Do Not Grieve the Spirit
25 Therefore, putting away lying, (D)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for (E)we are members of one another. 26 (F)“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 (G)nor give [a]place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather (H)let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something (I)to give him who has need. 29 (J)Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but (K)what is good for necessary [b]edification, (L)that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And (M)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (N)Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, [c]clamor, and (O)evil speaking be put away from you, (P)with all malice. 32 And (Q)be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (R)forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

2 Corinthians 5:14-21
New King James Version
14 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that (A)if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, (B)that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
16 (C)Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, (D)yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone (E)is in Christ, he is (F)a new creation; (G)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become (H)new. 18 Now all things are of God, (I)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that (J)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then, we are (K)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For (L)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become (M)the righteousness of God in Him.

Acts 9:13-20
New King James Version
13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, (A)how much [a]harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all (B)who call on Your name.”
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for (C)he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before (D)Gentiles, (E)kings, and the (F)children[b] of Israel. 16 For (G)I will show him how many things he must suffer for My (H)name’s sake.”
17 (I)And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and (J)laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord [c]Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and (K)be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18 Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.
19 So when he had received food, he was strengthened. (L)Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.
Saul Preaches Christ

Philemon 9-16
New King James Version
9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10 I appeal to you for my son (A)Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.
12 I am sending him [a]back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own [b]heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, (B)that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.
15 For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, 16 no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the (C)flesh and in the Lord.
