Six Things the Lord Hates

16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
    seven that are an abomination to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
    and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked plans,
    feet that make haste to run to evil,
19 a false witness who breathes out lies,
    and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 6:16-19 (ESV)

Act Faithfully

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. ~ Proverbs 12:22 (ESV)

Things the LORD Hates

16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

~ Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)

Be Honest

Fine speech is not becoming to a fool; still less is false speech to a prince. (ESV)

Arrogant lips are unsuited to a fool— how much worse lying lips to a ruler! (NIV)

~ Proverbs 17:7

What God Hates

16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. ~ Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV 1984)

Truth

Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. ~ Proverbs 12:19 (NIV 1984)

No Temptation...

This is a verse that I memorized as a teen in Sunday School. Thanks, Marlin!

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NIV 1984)

Overflow of the Heart

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. ~ Matthew 12:34b-35 (NIV 1984)

Whatever You Do

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ~ Colossians 3:17 (NIV 1984)
