1 Judge me, O my LORD, for I have walked,
       walked in my integrity,
   and I have put my trust in the LORD.
       I'll not slide away from Thee.
 
2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me.
      Try my reins, and my heart try
3 for before my eyes is Your mercy,
      and in Your truth have walked I.
 
4 I have not sat with men of falsehood,
       nor go in with hypocrites .
5 I've hated the evil assembly
      and won't sit with the wicked.
 
6 In innocence I wash my hands and
       turn, LORD, unto Your altar
7 to make heard with voice of thanksgiving
      and to tell all Your wonders.
 
8 LORD, I have loved the habitation
      of Your house and the place where
   Your Shekinah glory is dwelling
      for You have set Your Name there.

  
9  With sinners do not gather my soul
       nor my life with bloody men,
10 in whose hands are an evil device,
       and a bribe filled their right hand,
 
11 and I walk in my integrity.
       Redeem and give grace to me.
12 My foot, it has stood in uprightness.
       LORD I bless in assemblies.

Lk 21:34  But take heed to yourselves lest perhaps your hearts be weighed down with debauchery and drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare.  35  For it will come in upon all those dwelling on the face of all the earth.  36  But be watchful at every time, beseeching that you would prevail to escape all these things which are about to happen and stand before the Son of Man.
 
Matt 25:1  At that time the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  2  And five of them were foolish and five were prudent.  3  For the foolish, when they took their lamps, did not take oil with them;  4  But the prudent took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  5  And while the bridegroom delayed, they all became drowsy and slept.  6  But at midnight there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Go forth to meet him!  7  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their own lamps. 8  And the foolish said to the prudent, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.  9  But the prudent answered, saying, Perhaps there will not be enough for us and for you; go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.  10  And as they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came; and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast. And the door was shut.  11  And later the rest of the virgins came also, saying, Lord, lord, open to us!  12  But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.

Ps 25:10 All the paths of the Lord
are mercy and truth
unto such as keep
His covenant and testimonies,
 
1 Corinthians 5:9-13 9  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:  10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.  11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.  12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?  13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
 
1 Cor 6:1  Does any one of you who has a case against another dare to be judged before the unrighteous and not before the saints?  2  Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy of the smallest judgments?  3  Do you not know that we will judge angels, not to mention things of this life?  4  If then you hold judgments over things of this life, do you seat as judges those who are of no account in the church?  5  I say this to your shame. So there is no one wise among you, who will be able to discern between his brothers?  6  But brother goes to court with brother, and this before unbelievers.  7  Already then it is altogether a defeat to you that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?  8  But you wrong and defraud, and this your brothers.  9  Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals  10  Nor thieves nor the covetous, not drunkards, not revilers, not the rapacious will inherit the kingdom of God.  11  And these things were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
 
1 Cor 15:33  Do not be deceived: Evil  companionships  corrupt good morals.
 
Rom 12:1  I exhort you therefore, brothers, through the compassions of God to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service.  2  And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.
James 2:21  Was not Abraham our father justified by works in that he offered up Isaac his son upon the  altar ?  22  You see that faith worked together with his works, and by these works faith was perfected.
 
1 John 4:20  If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has  seen , cannot love God, whom he has not  seen .  21  And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God love his brother also.  5:1  Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been begotten of God, and everyone who loves Him who has begotten loves him also who has been begotten of Him.  2  In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and do His commandments.
 
Jn 9:34  They answered and said to him, You were wholly born in sins, and you are teaching us? And they  cast  him out.  35  Jesus heard that they had  cast  him out, and He found him and said, Do you believe into the Son of God?
3 Jn 10  For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, babbling against us with evil words; and not being satisfied with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those intending to do so he forbids and  casts  out of the church.
