For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16 as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. (‭1 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭15-16‬ ASV)

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; (‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭5-6‬ ASV)

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ. (‭Galatians‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ASV)
