Joshua 24:14-15 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve HIM in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he
that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 19:3-12 The Pharisees also came unto Him, tempting Him, and saying unto Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
They say unto Him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
HE saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered
you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
And
I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for
fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso
marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
His disciples say unto Him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
But HE said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

And they come unto Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where HE was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
When Jesus saw their faith, HE said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
And immediately when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, HE said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man (Jesus) hath power on earth to forgive sins, (HE saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
