As he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7).

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life (Proverbs 4:23).

Simply let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No”; anything beyond this comes from the evil one (Matthew 5:36).

We know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope (Romans 5:3-4).

The light of the righteous shines brightly (Proverbs 13:9).

In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:2).

Prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled (1 Peter 1:13a).
