Drunkards shall not possess the Kingdom of God (Cor. vi. 10).
Exceed not. and if thou sittest among many, reach not thy hand out first. How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught (Ecclus. xxvi. 20. 22).
Refrain yourselves from carnal desires, which war against the soul (i Pet. ii. 11).
Keep thyself chaste (1 Tim. v. 22).
For this is the will of God — your sanctification (i Thess. iv. 3).

The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt find grace before God; for great is the power of God alone, and He is honored by the humble (Ecclus. iii. 20. 21).
Take all that shall be brought upon thee; and in thy sorrow endure: and in thy humiliation keep patience. For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation (Ecclus. ii. 4, 5).
Twenty-fourth Day
Patience hath a perfect work; that you may be perfect and entire — failing in nothing (James i. 4).
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in any fault, you who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted (Gal. vi. i).
Do thy works in meekness, and thou shalt be beloved above the glory of men (Ecclus. iii. 19).
