Choosing life to live, we should first study the bible, get to know God, Jesus Christ, and how we are to conduct ourselves. Conducting ourselves as a good Christian maybe easy, learning about Jesus Christ maybe easy, learning about God maybe easy but studying the bible may not be, but that is the only way we can do the first three, right? In studying the Bible you will soon find many things out from Genesis to Revelations, like about conducting our present life, who God is, who Jesus Christ is what they both have done for mankind so that we may choose everlasting life.

I choose Leviticus 18:17, Mark 7:22, Romans 13:13, and Galatians 5:19-21; because it brings up a deeper thought of loose conduct vs wickedness in the two bible I choose to show. If you click on the word wickedness from the KJV Strong Version from the SearchGodWord.org you will see the Hebrew definition of evil plan and wickedness, but in the NWT of the JW we see "loose conduct".
