A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.

Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked; whoever guards his soul will keep far from them. …

And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” …

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
