James 1:21
Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains
of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted,
which is able to save your souls.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality,
impurity, sensuality,20. idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy,
outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,21. envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have
forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the
kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,10. nor thieves,
nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
Luke 11:24-26
"When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless
places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, `I will return to my
house from which I came.'25. "And when it comes, it finds it swept and
put in order.26. "Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more
evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."

created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
