Christian walk
Eph 4:1-3
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be
completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the
Spirit through the bond of peace.
NIV
Eph 5:3-11
But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because
these are improper for God's holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place,
but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person-such a man is an idolater-has any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's
wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9(for the fruit of the light consists in
all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of
darkness, but rather expose them.
NIV
Eph 5:19-20
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved. NKJV
Gal 5:16-18
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. 17
For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the
sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. (NIV)
Col 3:5-10
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires
and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you
once lived. 8 But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from
your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
NIV
Col 3:12-14
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,

Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
NIV

1 Cor 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is
not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not
delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.
(NIV)
1 John 2:3-6
We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4 The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is
a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we
are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I
do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. 13 But as for
you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do
not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
