This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would…And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. –Galatians 5:16-17, 24 (KJV)

Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. –1 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV)

Thou shalt be called the Repairer of the Breach.  –Isaiah 58:12

When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. –Nehemiah 1:4

You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace. –Nehemiah 2:17

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you.” –Luke 19:41-44
