A man who has friends must show himself friendly, and there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Be devoted to one another with brotherly love; prefer one another in honor.

—ROMANS 12:10

ACCOUNTABILITY

But I say to you that for every idle word that men speak, they will give an account on the Day of Judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

—MATTHEW 12:36–37

He told His disciples: There was a rich man who had a steward who was accused to the man of wasting his resources. So he called him and said, ‘How is it that I hear this about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward.’

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. Let them do this with joy and not complaining, for that would not be profitable to you.

—HEBREWS 13:17

ALCOHOL

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.

—PROVERBS 20:1

Do not be among winebibbers, among riotous eaters of meat; for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

—PROVERBS 23:20–21

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

—ROMANS 12:1–2

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

—1 CORINTHIANS 6:9–10

Envy, murders, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I previously warned you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Do not be quick in your spirit to be angry, for irritation settles in the bosom of fools.

—ECCLESIASTES 7:9

—MATTHEW 5:22

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to God’s wrath, for it is written: Vengeance is Mine. I will repay, says the Lord.

—ROMANS 12:19–21

Be angry but do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your anger.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.

—1 JOHN 2:20–22

But the anointing which you have received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. For as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, remain in Him.

Return, O backsliding sons, says the LORD. For I am married to you. And I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you
