“If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for
yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your
fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the
Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we
will serve the LORD.”

of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.

19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I implore you, give glory to the
LORD, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what
you have done. Do not hide it from me.” 20 So Achan answered
Joshua and said, “Truly, I have sinned against the LORD, the God of
Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful
mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold
fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and behold,
they are concealed in the earth inside my tent with the silver
underneath it.”

10 Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was
well watered everywhere—this was before the LORD destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the LORD, like the land of
Egypt as you go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose for himself all the valley of
the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from
each other. 12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in
the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom. 13 Now
the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the
LORD.

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the
flesh. 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do
the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not
under the Law. 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:
immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy,
outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness,
carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have
forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the
kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such
things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
