Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

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

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
