Worldly Things

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
