“There are six things the Lord hates,
PROVERBS 6:16-19
seven that are detestable to him:
1. haughty eyes,
2. a lying tongue,
3. hands that shed innocent blood,
4. a heart that devises wicked schemes,
5. feet that are quick to rush into evil,
6. a false witness who pours out lies
7. and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court?
Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong?

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”

JOSHUA 1:8
“Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.”
