Psalm 119:80-81 May my heart be blameless in your statutes, so that I may not be put to shame. My soul languishes for your salvation; I hope in your word.

Isaiah 26:7-9 The way of the righteous is level; O Just One, you make smooth the path of the righteous. In the path of your judgements, O Lord, we wait for you; your name and your renown are the soul’s desire. My soul yearns for you in the night, my spirit within me earnestly seeks you.  For when your judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

Galatians 5:22-25 By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
