Helpful Verses

I wanted to keep a record outside of my spiral notebook of the verses I studied over & over while prepping to quit the electronic cigarette.  Hopefully, I can pass them along to someone else who may find them handy.

Anything in italics is something I scribbled myself, anything in [brackets] is straight from The Amplified Bible, all scriptures taken from Amplified Bible & NIV Study Bible.
