You do the works of your father. Then they said to Him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father; God.

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one!

What is man, that he should be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared and said, Surely this thing is known!

So it was, as he spoke with him, that the king said to him, Have we made you the king's counselor? Stop! Why should you be killed? So the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God has given counsel to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my counsel.

He who reproves a scorner gets shame to himself; and he who rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blemish.

Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

A man who hardens his neck when reproved shall be suddenly broken, and there will be no healing.

who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.

Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Teacher, by saying these things You also insult us.

For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

Likewise you that are younger, be subject to your elders. Yes, all of you be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone should confess that He was Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.

All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall leave; yes, condemnation and shame shall cease.

Hear the Word of Jehovah, you who tremble at His Word: Your brothers who hated you, who cast you out because of My name, said, Let Jehovah be glorified. But He will appear for your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man.

I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.

so that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be, having been bound in Heaven; and whatever you loose on earth will be, having been loosed in Heaven.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

But those who are outside God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves the evil person.
