were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of
them.

Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit
the kingdom of God.

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that
continue until night, till wine inflame them!

Proverbs 23:29-35
Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath
wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

moveth itself aright.

the top of a mast.
They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I
felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

lusts thereof.

Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and
mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come
upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou
hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest
prevail.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers,
the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come

also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth
fornication sinneth against his own body.
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-7
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and
honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is
the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers
God will judge.

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.
 
     
     
  Temptations:  
. . .
  James 1:12-16
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the
crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted
with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth
forth death.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James 1:24
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her
perfect work, that ye maybe perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some
strange thing happened unto you:

be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Put on the whole armour of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Hebrews 4:14-16
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the
Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need.

I Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful,
who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation
also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
 
     
     
  Thoughts:  
. . .
  Isaiah 55:7-9
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return
unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Matthew 15:18-20

defile the man.

witness, blasphemies:
These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a
man.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there by any praise, think on
these things.

mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience
of Christ;
 
     
     
  Wanting:  
. . .
  Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

sealed.

what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

The Lord  is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my
head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord  for ever.

of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his
season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took
one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought
her unto the man.
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and
they shall be one flesh.

hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give
yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for
your incontinency.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet
so as by fire.
