2 Corinthians 1:12 - This is our [reason for] proud confidence: our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world [in general], and especially toward you, with pure motives and godly sincerity, not in human wisdom, but in the grace of God [that is, His gracious lovingkindness that leads people to Christ and spiritual maturity].
Ephesians 4:12 - [and He did this] to fully equip and perfect the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to build up the body of Christ [the church];

Ephesians 4:14 - So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit].

2 Corinthians 7:10 - For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.

2 Timothy 2:16 - But avoid all irreverent babble and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], for it will lead to further ungodliness,
2 Timothy 2:17 - and their teaching will spread like gangrene. So it is with Hymenaeus and Philetus,
2 Timothy 2:18 - who have deviated from the truth. They claim that the resurrection has already taken place, and they undermine the faith of some.
1 Timothy 6:11 - But as for you, O man of God, flee from these things; aim at and pursue righteousness [true goodness, moral conformity to the character of God], godliness [the fear of God], faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness.

1 Timothy 6:3 - If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine and teaching which is in agreement with godliness (personal integrity, upright behavior),
1 Timothy 6:4 - he is conceited and woefully ignorant [understanding nothing]. He has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, which produces envy, quarrels, verbal abuse, evil suspicions,

2 Timothy 4:4 - and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable].
