(Philippians 2:1-3): "If, therefore, there is any consolation in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any communion of the Spirit, if there is any mercy and compassion, then complete my joy: have the same thoughts, have the same love, be of one accord and of one mind; do nothing out of covetousness or vanity."

(4:8-9): "Finally, my brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are glorious, whatever things are only virtue and praise, think on these things. What you have learned, what you have received, and heard, and seen in me, do it."

(Col. 3:1-3): "Therefore, if you have risen with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God; Set your mind on things above, and not on earthly things. For you are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

(1 Thessalonians 5:14-22): "Admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be long-suffering towards all. See that no one repays evil for evil to anyone; but always seek good for each other and for all. Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In all things give thanks: for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Try everything, stick to the good. Refrain from all kinds of evil."

(Titus 2:2-5): "that the elders may be vigilant, sedate, chaste, sound in faith, in love, in patience; that the elders should also dress befitting the saints, that they should not be slanderers, that they should not be enslaved to drunkenness, and that they should teach good things; that the young should be taught to love their husbands, to love their children, to be chaste, pure, caring for the home, kind, submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God should not be blamed."

(3:1-2): "Remind them to obey and submit to principalities and authorities, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to be not quarrelsome, but quiet, and to show all meekness to all men."

(Heb. 13:1-5): "Let brotherly love (among you) remain. Do not forget the love of strangers, for through it some, without knowing it, have shown hospitality to the Angels. Remember the prisoners, as if you were in chains with them, and those who suffer, as you yourselves are in the body. The marriage of all (let it be) honorable and the bed blameless; but fornicators and adulterers are judged by God. Have a disposition that does not love money, being content with what you have."

Canon 70: Of those who are entrusted with the preaching of the Gospel, when, whom and what they are to teach; how they need to correct themselves beforehand; what boldness one should have in preaching; how much to care for those entrusted to them; with what disposition and what labors to devote oneself predominantly; how to keep oneself clean from such defects that most often accompany them; to what extent to bring the taught; how to attract people who have a hostile disposition; how to approach those who, out of fear, refuse to listen; how to withdraw from those who do not accept them through lack of consciousness; how to ordain others or expel those who have been ordained; and that each of the Primates should consider himself responsible before those entrusted to him in everything that he does and says

Chapter 1. Those to whom the preaching of the Gospel has been entrusted, with supplication and prayer, must ordain irreproachable deacons and presbyters, who have earned the approval of their former life.

(Luke 10:1-2): "After these things the Lord chose the other seventy disciples, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place whither He Himself wanted to go, and said to them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest that He will send laborers into His harvest."
