Galatians 5:19-21

Proverbs 14:30
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
James 3:13-16

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
