Random quotes

Just some random verse I find interesting, not in Chronological order.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (Good News Bible, Today's English Version)
Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or conceited or proud; love is not ill-mannered or selfish or irritable; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love never gives up; and its faith, hope, and patience never fail.
Love is eternal. There are inspired messages, but they are temporary; there are gifts of speaking in tongues, but they will cease; there is knowledge, but it will pass.

Matthew 7:7 (Good News Bible, Today's English Version)
Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

1 Corinthians 16:13 (Good News Bible, Today's English Version)
Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong.

Numbers 32:23 (Good News Bible, Today's English Version)
But if you do not keep your promise, I warn you that you will be sinning against the Lord. Make no mistake about it; you will be punished for your sin.

Sirach 18:30-33 (Good News Bible, Today's English Version)
Don't be controlled by your lust, keep your passions in check. If you allow yourself to satisfy your every desire, you will be a joke to your enemies. Don't indulge in luxurious living; the expense of it will ruin you. Don't make yourself a beggar by borrowing for expensive banquets when you don't have enough money for your own.
