Obey your leaders and act under their authority. They are watching over 
you, because they are responsible for your souls. Obey them so that they 
will do this work with joy, not sadness. It will not help you to make 
their work hard.
Hebrews 13:17





Wise people are careful and stay out of trouble, but fools are careless 
and quick to act. Someone with a quick temper does foolish things, but 
someone with understanding remains calm.
Proverbs 14:16-17





But Samuel answered, "What pleases the LORD more: burnt offerings and 
sacrifices or obedience to his voice? It is better to obey than to 
sacrifice. It is better to listen to God than to offer the fat of sheep. 
Disobedience is a bad as the sin of sorcery. Pride is as bad as the sin 
of worshiping idols. You have rejected the LORD"S command. Now he rejects 
you as king."
1 Samuel 15:22-23





So prepare your minds for service and have self-control. All your hope 
should be for the gift of grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ is 
shown to you. Now that you are obedient children of God do not live as 
you did in the past. You did not understand, so you did the evil things 
you wanted.
1 Peter 1:13-14





"If you become willing and obey me, you will eat good crops from the land. 
But if you refuse to obey and if you turn against me, you will be destroyed 
by your enemies' swords." The LORD himself said these things.
Isaiah 1:10-20





For the Lord's sake, yield to the people who have authority in this world: 
the king, who is the highest authority, and the leaders who are sent by 
him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. It is 
God's desire that by doing good you should stop foolish people from saying 
stupid things about you.
1 Peter 2:13-15





In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was 
like God in everything. But he did not think that being equal with God was 
something to be used for his won benefit. But he gave up his place with God 
and made himself nothing. He was born to be a man and became like a servant. 
And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient 
to God, even when that caused his death--- death on the cross.
Philippians 2:5-8





Even though Jesus was the Son of God, he learned obedience by what he 
suffered.
Hebrews 5:8





In the same way, younger people should be willing to be under older people. 
And all of you should be very humble with each other. "God is against the 
proud, but he gives grace to the humble." Be humble under God's powerful 
hand so he will lift you up when the right time comes.
1 Peter 5:5-6





Yield to obey each other because you respect Christ.
Ephesians 5:21





No harm comes to a good person, but an evil person's life is full of trouble.
Proverbs 12:21





So, do not let sin control your life here on earth so that you do what 
your sinful self wants to do. Do not offer the parts of your body to 
serve sin, as things to be used in doing evil. Instead, offer yourselves 
to God as people who have died and now live. Offer the parts of your 
body to God to be used in doing good.
Romans 6:12-13





In the Lord's mane, I tell you this. Do not continue living like those 
who do not believe. Their thoughts are worth nothing. They do not 
understand, and they know nothing, because they refuse to listen. So 
they cannot have the life that God gives.
Ephesians 4:17-18





In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light 
in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light.
Ephesians 5:8





So give yourselves completely to God. Stand against the devil, and the 
devil will run from you.
James 4:7
