References:
1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: 
                    but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of                      him.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
                   The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”

Romans 6:11
   Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God                                   through Jesus Christ our Lord.

12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof....

16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye             obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of       doctrine which was delivered you.

18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness....19  for as ye have yielded       your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your 
     members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 22 But now being made free from sin, and                   become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our  Lord.

(Okay so we know, we CAN live righteously, soberly and Godly in this present evil world, no excuses)
