But brother goes to court against brother, and that before unbelievers.

But to the rest I say, not the Lord: If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she is willing to live with him, let him not send her away.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let them leave; a brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us in peace.

And because of your knowledge the weak brother will perish, the one for whom Christ died.

And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses to hear the church, let him be to you like a foreigner and a tax collector.

And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Now I exhort you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and snares, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the teaching which you received from us.

And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor speak a blessing to him;

Everywhere it is heard that there is sexual perversion among you, and such sexual perversion as is not even named among the Gentiles; that a man has his father's wife.

For indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, I have already judged him who has so done this deed, as though I were present.

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.

Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, even as you are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.

But to the wicked God says, What is it you do, to declare My Statutes, and to take up My Covenant in your mouth;

When you saw a thief, then you were pleased to be with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.

You sit and speak against your brother; you slander your own mother's son.

For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, evil speakings, whisperings, conceits, commotions;

that it not be, when I come again, that my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, sexual perversities, and licentiousness which they have practiced.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, sexual perversion, uncleanness, licentiousness,

envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual perversion;

not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles, who do not know God;

For God did not call us to impurity, but in sanctification.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to prostitute themselves to sexual immorality.

Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and lead astray My servants to prostitute themselves to sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, prostitutes, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and prostitutes and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and produces a lie.

For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses those who plunder, whom Jehovah has spurned.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

All these evil things come from within and defile a man.

And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, since I have nowhere to gather my fruits?

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

And which of you by being anxious is able to add one cubit to his stature?

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

And do not seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor be agitated.

But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things will be conveyed to you.

For this you know, that no prostitute, unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

not a drunkard, not violent, not greedy for money, but fair-minded, not quarrelsome, not loving money;

But those who purpose to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; accursed children.

They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Neither become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them prostituted, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?

Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, I will annihilate; the one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, I will not endure.

For in eating, each one takes his own supper ahead of others; and one is hungry and another is drunk.

and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards,

and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

But if that servant says in his heart, My master is delaying his coming, and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk,

the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not expecting him, and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with giddiness, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.

Let us walk decently, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkenness, not in cohabitation and licentiousness, not in strife and envy.

for before certain men came from Jacob, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled by the Spirit,

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus to himself, God, I thank You that I am not like other men; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

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

And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses to hear the church, let him be to you like a foreigner and a tax collector.

Now I exhort you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and snares, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the teaching which you received from us.

useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor speak a blessing to him;
