1 Thessalonians 5:15
King James Version
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man;
but ever follow that which is good,
both among yourselves,
and to all men.
We just finished an article on "being pure".
At the latter end, we shared the promises we get from GOD's WORD.
We thought a separate article enumerating the benefits would be fitting.
Considering the many benefits, and grace GOD gives us.
As well as additional verses SPIRIT led me to:
Psalm 1:1-3
King James Version

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
