That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;

Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
