And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land,

Thus [it is with] you and all your congregation which is gathered together against God: and who is Aaron, that you murmur against him?

And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.

And they murmured in their tents; they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

And they that erred in spirit shall know understanding, and the murmurers shall learn obedience, and the stammering tongues shall learn to speak peace.

And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, "Why do You eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

And the Pharisees and scribes were grumbling, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them."

But when they saw it, they all were complaining, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a sinful man."

Therefore the Jews were murmuring about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."

And Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were murmuring about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?

nor murmer, just as also some of them murmered, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

Do all things without grumbling and disputing,

how they told you that in the last time there would be mockers, walking according to their own ungodly lusts.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh.

And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God,

For there will be a time when they will not put up with sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up for themselves teachers, tickling their ears,

But each [one] is tempted by his own lusts, being drawn away and being seduced [by them].

Then lust, when it conceives, gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves [after] the former lusts, [as you did in] your ignorance;

Beloved, I implore you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from the lusts of the flesh which war against the soul;

that he no longer should live the remaining time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

and especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are bold, self-willed, illustrious persons, they do not tremble at blaspheming,

knowing this first: that mockers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

to execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly among them about all their ungodly deeds which they have committed impiously, and about all the harsh [words] which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

For You have hid their heart from wisdom, therefore You shall not exalt them.

He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for their children.

They have enclosed [themselves with] their own fat; their mouths have spoken pride.

They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.

And they said, How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

For when they speak haughty [words] of emptiness, they entice through the lusts of the flesh, through lewdness, those who are escaping from those who are living in error,

You shall not act unjustly in judgment: you shall not accept the person of the poor, nor admire the person of the mighty; with justice shall you judge your neighbor.

For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.

[Such a one] as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, neither knows how to give honor to the great, so as that their persons should be respected.

In his sight an evil worker is set at nought, but he honors them that fear the Lord. He swears to his neighbor, and disappoints [him] not.

He that respects not the persons of the righteous is not good: such a one will sell a man for a morsel of bread.

constant wranglings of men of corrupt minds and having been deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of profit. Withdraw from such [people].

My brothers, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with partiality.

and you have respect for him that wears the fine clothes and you say to him, "You sit here in a good seat," and say to the poor man, "You stand there," or, "Sit here under my footstool,"

Listen, my beloved brothers. Did God not choose the poor of the world [to be] rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those that love Him?

Do they not blaspheme the noble name by which you are called?

but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master, the [One] having bought them, and bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And by covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction will not sleep.
