And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
