Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint;
but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.
Proverbs 29:18

Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.

—Psalm 51:16-17

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.
May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this:
everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak
and slow to become angry,
because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
