James 3:13-18
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

For he knows the secrets of the heart.

Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

Job 31:1-40
“ I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?What would be my portion from God above and my heritage from the Almighty on high?Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?Does not he see my ways and number all my steps?“ If I have walked with falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit;( Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has stuck to my hands,then let me sow, and another eat, and let what grows for me be rooted out.“ If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down on her.For that would be a heinous crime; that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.“ If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me,what then shall I do when God rises up? When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?Did not he who made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?“ If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it( for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father, and from my mother’s womb I guided the widow),if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or the needy without covering,if his body has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.For I was in terror of calamity from God, and I could not have faced his majesty.“ If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence,if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant or because my hand had found much,if I have looked at the sun when it shone, or the moon moving in splendor,and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand,this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges, for I would have been false to God above.“ If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, or exulted when evil overtook him( I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse),if the men of my tent have not said,‘ Who is there that has not been filled with his meat?’( the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),if I have concealed my transgressions as others do by hiding my iniquity in my heart,because I stood in great fear of the multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—Oh, that I had one to hear me!( Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown;I would give him an account of all my steps; like a prince I would approach him.“ If my land has cried out against me and its furrows have wept together,if I have eaten its yield without payment and made its owners breathe their last,let thorns grow instead of wheat, and foul weeds instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

2 Corinthians 10 2-2 Corinthians 10 4
I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
