Rom 1:24 Because of this, God gave them up to impurity in the lusts of their hearts, their bodies to be dishonored among themselves, Rom 1:25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever.

Deut. 6:5 Mat 22:38 This is the first and great commandment. Mat 22:39 And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Lev. 19:18 Mat 22:40 On these two commandments all the Law and the Prophets hang.

Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity! Ecc 1:3 What is the profit to a man in all his labor which he labors under the sun? Ecc 1:6 The wind goes toward the south, and turning around to the north; the wind is going around and around. And the wind returns on its circuits. Ecc 1:7 All the rivers are going to the sea; yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers are going, there they are returning to go again.

Mat 12:7 But if you had known what this is, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice," you would not have condemned the guiltless. Hos. 6:6 Mat 25:35 For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in;
