2. But he said to him, why do you call me good, nobody is good but the one God. Gospel of Matthew 19: 17.
3. IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. The same was in the beginning with God. Gospel of John 1: 1.
4. Let us walk honorably as in the day, not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and bawdiness. Romans 13: 13.
5. You men, dear brothers, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, he died and was buried. Acts 2: 29.
6. Enter through the narrow gate, because the gate is wide and the path if vast that leads to damnation, and there are many who walk on it. Matthew 7: 13.
