Examples
Exodus 19:1-6 Exodus 19.1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

Exodus 19.5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: Exodus 19.6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

I Peter 4 :1-4 I Peter 4.1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; I Peter 4.2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. I Peter 4.3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: I Peter 4.4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
I Tim. 2:8-10 I Tim. 2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. I Tim. 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; I Tim. 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
