34Be Alert“Constantly be on your guard so that your hearts may not be loaded down with self-indulgence, drunkenness, and the worries of this life, or that day will take you by surpriseRom 13:13; 1Thes 5:6; 1Pet 4:71 Corinthians 6:9
9You know that wicked people will not inherit the kingdom of God, don't you? Stop deceiving yourselves! Sexually immoral people, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,1Cor 15:50; Gal 5:21; Eph 5:5; 1Tim 1:9; Heb 12:14; 13:4; Rev 22:15Ephesians 5:5
5For you know very well that no immoral or impure person, or anyone who is greedy (that is, an idolater), has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.1Cor 6:9; Gal 5:19, 21; Col 3:5; 1Tim 6:17; Rev 22:15Philippians 4:8
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is fair, whatever is pure, whatever is acceptable, whatever is commendable, if there is anything of excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—keep thinking about these things.1Thes 5:221 Thessalonians 4:12
