They know that you did not give them the spirit of fear, anger, or self-righteousness, but of courage, patience, and humility. Therefore, they set themselves apart from anything or anyone that may cause them to do the opposite of what they know is acceptable to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the[a] paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
