They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?

No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. It is not possible to serve God and mammon.

and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries.

Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh, despise rulership, and speak evil of dignitaries.

Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

But you, do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.

where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all things and in all.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of your love for all the saints;

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints,

For we have great joy and encouragement in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory about to be revealed:

These things command and teach.

But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:

Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those believing in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
