Godliness
Titus 2:11-14
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to
all men.
12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly
passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present
age,
13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing
of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness
and to purify for himself a people that are his very own; eager to do what is
good.
Happiness
Matthew 5:3-12
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom
of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons
of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of
righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and
falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in
heaven.
Holiness
1 Peter 1:13-16
13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be
self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus
Christ is revealed.
14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires
you had when you lived in ignorance.
15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all
you do;
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
