Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.   –Philippians 3:12-14 (KJV)

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. –2 Peter 3:18 (KJV)

Sanctify them by the truth; your Word is truth. –John 17:17

Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, That I might not sin against thee. –Psalm 119:11

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. –Psalm 19:7

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.    –Romans 13:8-10 (NIV)

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.   –Romans 8:4 (KJV)

Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.   –James 5:17 (ERV)
