Seek ye first the kingdom of God

John 17: 15 - 18

15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

1 Peter 2: 11

11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Matthew 6: 33

33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Colossians 3: 2

2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Philippians 3: 20

20For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 12: 2

2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

1 John 2: 15 - 17

15Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
