Titus 3.5a

   ⁵ he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. 

1 Timothy 1.6-7

   ⁶ Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. ⁷ They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

1 Corinthians 16.13-14

   "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love"

1 Timothy 1.8-11

    ⁸ We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. ⁹ We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, ¹⁰ for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine ¹¹ that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
