    From the Bible

    I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. John 17:14ā€“18

    So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27

    Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:5ā€“9

    For you created my inmost being;

    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

    From the Bible

    "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:28

    ā€œFor I hate divorce,ā€ says the Lord, the God of Israel, ā€œand him who covers his garment with violence,ā€ says the Lord of armies. ā€œSo be careful about your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.ā€ Malachi 2:16 (NASB)

    I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Jeremiah 3:8a

    Johnā€™s disciples came and took his body and buried it. Then they went and told Jesus. When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Matthew 14:12-13a

    From the Bible

    I slept but my heart was awake.
    Listen! My beloved is knocking:
    ā€œOpen to me, my sister, my darling,
    my dove, my flawless one.
    My head is drenched with dew,
    my hair with the dampness of the night.ā€
    I have taken off my robeā€”
    must I put it on again?
    I have washed my feetā€”
    must I soil them again?
    Song of Songs 5:2ā€“3

    My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
    my heart began to pound for him.
    I arose to open for my beloved,
    and my hands dripped with myrrh,
    my fingers with flowing myrrh,
    on the handles of the bolt.
    I opened for my beloved,
    but my beloved had left; he was gone.
    My heart sank at his departure.
    I looked for him but did not find him.
    I called him but he did not answer.
    Song of Songs 5:4ā€“6

    For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who fear him;
    as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
    Psalm 103:11-12

    Then He said, ā€œGo out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.ā€ And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
    1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV)

    From the Bible

    It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

    I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God. Ezekiel 11:19ā€“20

    The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
    He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom for the captives
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,
    to proclaim the year of the Lordā€™s favor
    and the day of vengeance of our God,
    to comfort all who mourn,
    and provide for those who grieve in Zionā€”
    to bestow on them a crown of beauty
    instead of ashes,
    the oil of joy
    instead of mourning,
    and a garment of praise
    instead of a spirit of despair.
    They will be called oaks of righteousness,
    a planting of the Lord
    for the display of his splendor.
    Isaiah 61:1ā€“3
