Galatians 5:19-21

For the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, impurity, lewdness, idolatry, magic, enmities, strife, envy, anger, contentions, dissensions, heresies, murders, drunkenness, revellings and the like, of which I tell you before, as I have also previously told you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

John 7:1-13

And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea because the Jews sought to kill him. AND the feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles. Then his brothers said to him, Go down from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do;read more.
for no one does any thing in secret, and seeks himself to be in public. If you do these things, show yourself to the world. For his brothers did not believe on him. Then Jesus said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I testify of it that its works are evil. Do you go up to the feast; I go not up to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come. Having said these things he continued in Galilee. But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much complaining concerning him among the multitude; some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the people. Nevertheless, no one spoke openly for him from fear of the Jews.

Hebrews 12:5-11

And you have forgotten the exhortation which says to you as to sons, My son, despise not the correction of the Lord and faint not when rebuked by him, for the Lord corrects those whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives. If you endure correction, God deals with you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not correct?read more.
But if you are without correction of which all are partakers, then you are of foreign birth, and not sons. Moreover, we have had fathers of our flesh who corrected us and we respected them; shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they for a few days corrected us as seemed good to them, but he for the best, that we may partake of his holiness. And no correction seems to be joyful for the present but painful, but afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those exercised by it.

1 Corinthians 10:1-12

For I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized to Moses by the cloud and by the sea, and all eat the same spiritual food,read more.
and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual rock which followed them, and that rock was Christ; but with many of them God was not pleased; for they were destroyed in the wilderness. But these things are examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they did. Neither be idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written; The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them did and fell in one day twenty-three thousand. Neither let us try Christ, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents. Neither do you complain as some of them complained and were destroyed by the destroyer. All these things happened to them as examples, and are recorded for our admonition on whom the ends of the ages have come; so that he who thinks he stands, let him take heed lest he fall.
