— Philippians 3:18-19
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often,

and whose glory is in their shame,
who mind earthly things.)”

, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.”

was in her and in her daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”

16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”

Luke 21:34-35
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting [over-eating],
and drunkenness, and cares of this life,
and so that day come upon you unawares.
“35 For as a snare shall it come on all them
that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”
