Titus 3:3-5
For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

Colossians 3:3-8
For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Ephesians 4:22-32
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.“ Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,and don’t give place to the devil.Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Acts 9:13-20
But Ananias answered,“ Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”But the Lord said to him,“ Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said,“ Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

1 Corinthians 6 9-1 Corinthians 6 11
Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

2 Corinthians 5 14-2 Corinthians 5 21
For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died.He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Philemon 1:9-16
yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.I beg you for my child, whom I have become the father of in my chains, Onesimus,who once was useless to you, but now is useful to you and to me.I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,whom I desired to keep with me, that on your behalf he might serve me in my chains for the Good News.But I was willing to do nothing without your consent, that your goodness would not be as of necessity, but of free will.For perhaps he was therefore separated from you for a while, that you would have him forever,no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much rather to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
