Titus 1 (KJV)
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled (Willfulness, especially in satisfying one's own desires or adhering to one's own opinions.), not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker (troublemaker), not given to filthy lucre (money, esp. when regarded as sordid or distasteful or gained in a dishonorable way.);
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober (clear-headed), just, holy, temperate (pleasant);
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort (advise) and to convince the gainsayers (disputers).
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision (those who were baptized):
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert (overthrow) whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's (money, esp. when regarded as sordid or distasteful or gained in a dishonorable way.) sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate (an unprincipled person (often used humorously or affectionately).Philippians 3 (KJV)
3 For we are the circumcision (rite of passage), which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
I am not from this planet! I am a citizen from Heaven. I must not conform to the ways of this world! ~ Karmen

Colossians 2 (KJV)
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (principles) of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality (a state ruled by a prince.) and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised (baptized) with the circumcision (initiation rite) made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision (baptism) of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision (Spirit can only be cleansed not the flesh) of your flesh, hath he quickened (hurry {up}) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses (sins);
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities (a state ruled by a prince) and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
