And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the Jordan Valley was well watered everywhere like the garden of theLord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of Zoar. (This was before theLorddestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley.

Lot… that righteous man.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.—“Remember Lot's wife.”

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?… “Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing.”—Therefore do not associate with them; for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light… and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

“It may be that theLordwill be with me, and I shall drive them out just as theLordsaid.”

He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”—With the mighty deeds of the LordGodI will come; I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness…. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.—“TheLordis with you…. Go in this might of yours.”
