Jer 17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 

Joh 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

 

Diligence

 

Pro 10:4  He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 

Pro 10:5  He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. 

Pro 12:24  The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 

Pro 13:4  The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Enemies

 

Exo 23:4  If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 

Exo 23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.

Mat 5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 

Luk 6:35  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 

Forgiveness

 

Mat 5:23  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 

Mat 5:24  Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 

Mat 6:14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 

Mat 6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

Eph 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. 

Col 3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 

Col 3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 

 

Humility

 

Pro 18:12  Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. 

Pro 22:4  By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life. 

Mic 6:8  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? 

Php 2:3  Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 

Jas 4:10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 

1Pe 5:5  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 

1Pe 5:6  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 

1Pe 5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 

 

Idleness

 

Ecc 10:18  By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 

Pro 6:6  Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 

Pro 6:7  Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 

Pro 6:8  Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. 

Pro 6:9  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 

Pro 6:10  Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 

Pro 6:11  So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. 

Pro 18:9  He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster. 

1Th 4:11  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 

1Th 4:12  That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 

2Th 3:10  For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 

Heb 6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 

 

Integrity

 

2Ki 12:14  But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD. 

2Ki 12:15  Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully. 

Job 2:3  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. 

Psa 7:8  The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 

Pro 11:3  The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. 

Pro 19:1  Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 

Pro 20:7  The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. 

 

Jealousy

 

Psa 37:1  Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 

Psa 37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 

Pro 3:31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. 

Pro 6:34  For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 

Pro 24:1  Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.  

Pro 24:2  For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 

Son 8:6  Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 

Rom 13:13  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 

Rom 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 

 

Joy

 

Neh 8:10  Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength. 

Psa 16:11  Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 

Psa 89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 

Psa 89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 

Luk 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. 

Joh 15:11  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 

Rom 14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 

 

Kindness

 

Pro 19:22  The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. 

Pro 31:26  She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 

Rom 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 

1Co 13:4  Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 

 

Knowledge

 

Psa 89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 

Pro 1:7  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. 

Pro 1:22  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 

Pro 3:13  Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 

Pro 10:14  Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 

Pro 12:1  Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. 

Pro 13:16  Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. 

Pro 18:15  The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.

Pro 19:2  Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth. 

Ecc 7:12  For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that
