KJV*
1Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

Pr 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Pr 8:2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
Pr 8:3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
Pr 8:4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Pr 8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Pr 8:6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Pr 8:7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Pr 8:8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Pr 8:9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Pr 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Pr 8:11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Pr 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Pr 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Pr 8:14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
Pr 8:15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Pr 8:16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Pr 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Pr 8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
Pr 8:19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Pr 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Pr 8:21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Pr 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pr 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Pr 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Pr 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
Pr 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pr 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Pr 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Pr 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Pr 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Pr 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Pr 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Pr 8:33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Pr 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Pr 8:35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Pr 8:36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1Jo 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1Jo 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Jo 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1Jo 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

1Pe 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1Pe 1:15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1Pe 1:16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1Pe 1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1Pe 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1Pe 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1Pe 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1Pe 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1Pe 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

No one is happy or free who lives only for himself.  Joy in living comes from immersion in something one recognizes to be bigger, better, worthier, more enduring than he himself is.  "True happiness and true freedom come from squandering one's self for a purpose." -McGeehon

KJV*
Lu 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Lu 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mr 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mr 9:36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
Mr 9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

1Co 9:19 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1Co 9:20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1Co 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1Co 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
