highlighted John 18:33-38 NASB
Therefore Pilate aentered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, "bAre You the King of the Jews?"Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"Jesus answered, "aMy kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, "aYou say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, bto testify to the truth. cEveryone who is of the truth hears My voice."Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"

For this finds favor, if for the sake of aconscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly.For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if awhen you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.For ayou have been called for this purpose, bsince Christ also suffered for you, leaving you can example for you to follow in His steps,WHO aCOMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;and while being areviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;and He Himself abore our sins in His body on the bcross, so that we cmight die to sin and live to righteousness; for dby His

aCome now, you who say, "bToday or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. aYou are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.Instead, you ought to say, "aIf the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; aall such boasting is evil.Therefore, ato one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

aBeloved, bI urge you as caliens and strangers to abstain from dfleshly lusts which wage ewar against the soul.aKeep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they bslander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, cglorify God din the day of visitation.aSubmit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,or to governors as sent by him afor the punishment of evildoers and the bpraise of those who do right.For asuch is the will of God that by doing right you may bsilence the ignorance of foolish men.Act as afree men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bbondslaves of God.aHonor all people, blove the brotherhood, cfear God, dhonor the king.aServants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and bgentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.

highlighted James 4:11 ESV
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

highlighted James 4:4-10 ESV
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"?But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.

You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
