• James 3:8-12
  But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
   
• Matthew 6:22-24
  “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
   
• 2 Corinthians 6:16-17
  And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
  "I will dwell in them
  And walk among them.
  I will be their God,
  And they shall be My people."
  Therefore "Come out from among them
  And be separate, says the Lord.
  Do not touch what is unclean,
  And I will receive you."
