Daily Scripture Moral Integrity and Honesty: Part 4

Everyone who looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  (Matthew 5:28)

He who is faithful with very little is also faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.  If one is not faithful in handling worldly wealth, who will trust him with true riches?  And if one is not faithful with someone else’s property, who will give him property of his own?  (Luke 16:10-12)

I will walk properly as in the daytime, not in revellings and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and debauchery, not in strife and jealousy.  Rather, I will put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision to gratify the lusts of the flesh.  (Romans 13:13-14)

I will keep the feast of Christ, my Passover, not with old leaven, or with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.  (1 Corinthians 5:7-8)

I will flee from sexual immorality.  All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but the immoral person sins against his own body.  (1 Corinthians 6:18)

I will not set my heart on evil things, or be an idolater, or commit sexual immorality.  (1 Corinthians 10:6-8)

I do not want even a hint of immorality, or any impurity, or greed in my life, as is proper for a saint.  Nor will I give myself to obscenity, foolish talk, or coarse joking, which are not fitting, but rather to giving of thanks.  (Ephesians 5:3-4)

I will have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather I will expose them.  (Ephesians 5:11)

I will consider the members of my earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry.  Because of these, the wrath of God is coming, and in them I once walked when I lived in them.  (Colossians 3:5-7)

This is the will of God, my sanctification, that I abstain from immorality and learn to possess my own vessel in sanctification and honor.  For God did not call me to be impure, but to live a holy life.  (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4, 7)
