James 1:21-25
New International Version
21 Therefore, get rid of(A) all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you,(B) which can save you.
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.(C) 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom,(D) and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.(E)
2 Timothy 3:15-17
New International Version
15 and how from infancy(A) you have known the Holy Scriptures,(B) which are able to make you wise(C) for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed(D) and is useful for teaching,(E) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(F) 17 so that the servant of God[a](G) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(H)

1 Blessed is the one(A)
who does not walk(B) in step with the wicked(C)

or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
2 but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)

sweeter than honey(J) to my mouth!(K)
104 I gain understanding(L) from your precepts;
therefore I hate every wrong path.(M)

Proverbs 6:20-35
New International Version
Warning Against Adultery
20 My son,(A) keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.(B)
21 Bind them always on your heart;
fasten them around your neck.(C)
22 When you walk, they will guide you;
when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(D)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(E)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(F)
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
but another man’s wife preys on your very life.(G)
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
without his clothes being burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals
without his feet being scorched?
29 So is he who sleeps(H) with another man’s wife;(I)
no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,(J)
though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
32 But a man who commits adultery(K) has no sense;(L)
whoever does so destroys himself.
33 Blows and disgrace are his lot,
and his shame will never(M) be wiped away.
Proverbs 4:10-17
New International Version
10 Listen, my son,(A) accept what I say,
and the years of your life will be many.(B)
11 I instruct(C) you in the way of wisdom
and lead you along straight paths.(D)
12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
when you run, you will not stumble.(E)
13 Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life.(F)
14 Do not set foot on the path of the wicked
or walk in the way of evildoers.(G)
15 Avoid it, do not travel on it;
turn from it and go on your way.
16 For they cannot rest until they do evil;(H)
they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble.
17 They eat the bread of wickedness
and drink the wine of violence.(I)
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
New International Version
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.(A) 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.(B) 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.(C) 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.(D)

Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:1
New International Version
9 You who are young, be happy while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you into judgment.(A)
10 So then, banish anxiety(B) from your heart
and cast off the troubles of your body,
for youth and vigor are meaningless.(C)
Proverbs 5:7-23
New International Version
7 Now then, my sons, listen(A) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(B)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(C)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(D)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(E)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(F)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(G) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(H)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(I)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

Psalm 78:4-8
New International Version
4 We will not hide them from their descendants;(A)
we will tell the next generation(B)
the praiseworthy deeds(C) of the Lord,
his power, and the wonders(D) he has done.
5 He decreed statutes(E) for Jacob(F)
and established the law in Israel,
which he commanded our ancestors
to teach their children,
6 so the next generation would know them,
even the children yet to be born,(G)
and they in turn would tell their children.
7 Then they would put their trust in God
and would not forget(H) his deeds
but would keep his commands.(I)
8 They would not be like their ancestors(J)—
a stubborn(K) and rebellious(L) generation,
whose hearts were not loyal to God,
whose spirits were not faithful to him.
