⁶ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

⁴ By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

¹⁴ Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

⁹ The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

⁷ That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

²² Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²¹ Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
