Bible verses about "reflecting" | Anderson

¹ I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may learn what the will of God is the good, and the acceptable, and the perfect.

¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and recline in the last place, that when he that invited you shall come, he may say to you, Friend, go up higher. Then you shall have honor in the presence of those who recline with you. ¹¹ For every one that exalts himself shall Le humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

¹⁸ And we all, with unvailed face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Lord the Spirit.

¹ Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. ² Now, I praise you, brethren, because you remember me in all things, and keep the traditions as I delivered them to you. ³ But I wish you to know, that the head of every man is the Christ, and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man that prays or prophesies, having his head covered, dishonors his head. ⁵ But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered, dishonors her head: for it is one and the same as if she was shaved. ⁶ For if a woman has no vail on, let her also be shaved. But if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her have a vail. ⁷ For a man ought not to vail his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man: ⁹ for the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this reason ought the woman to have a token of subjection on her head, on account of the angels. ¹¹ But neither is the woman without the man, nor the: man without the woman, in the Lord. ¹² For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things are of God. ¹³ Judge in yourselves, whether it is becoming that a woman pray to God unvailed. ¹⁴ Does not nature itself teach you, that, if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? ¹⁵ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a vail. ¹⁶ But if any one seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor have the churches of God. ¹⁷ But I praise you not in this, which I now mention, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For, in the first place, when you come together in the church, I hear that there are schisms among you, and I partly believe it: ¹⁹ for there must be sects among you, that the approved may be made known among you. ²⁰ "When, therefore, you come together in one place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper; ²¹ for each one, in eating, takes before another, his own supper; and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² What, have you not houses in which to eat and drink? or do you despise the church of God, and put those to shame who have nothing to eat? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. ²³ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: That the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was delivered up, took bread; ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said: Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also, the cup, after he had supped, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood: do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till he come. ²⁷ Wherefore he that eats this bread, or drinks this cup of the Lord, in an improper manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of this bread, and drink of this cup: ²⁹ for he that eats and drinks in an improper manner, eats and drinks condemnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. ³⁰ For this reason, many among you are weak and sick, and many sleep. ³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged; ³² but being judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one an other:- ³⁴ and if any one is hungry, let him eat at home, that you come not together for condemnation. But other things I will set in order when I come.

¹ Be you, therefore, imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as the Christ also loved us, and gave him self for us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet odor. ³ But lewdness, and all manner of uncleanness, or covetousness, let them not be named among you, as it becomes saints; ⁴ nor obscene language, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not becoming; but rather the cheerful words of. a thankful heart. ⁵ For you know this, that no lewd nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of the Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words: for on account of these things, the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Therefore, be not partakers with them. ⁸ For you were formerly darkness; but now you are light in the Lord: walk as children of light; ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ¹⁰ learning what is acceptable to the Lord; ¹¹ and do not participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; ¹² for it is a shame even to speak of the things that are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all these works, when reproved, are made manifest by the light: for every thing that makes manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore, the scripture says: Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light. ¹⁵ See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Wherefore, be not ignorant, but understand what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰ giving thanks to our God and Father always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; ²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of God. ²² Wives, be subject to your own husbands as to the Lord: ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, as the Christ also is the head of the church; and he is the savior of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to the Christ, so, also, let the wives be subject to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as the Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of water through the word, ²⁷ in order that he might present it to himself a glorious church, having neither stain, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ So ought men to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Christ the church: ³⁰ because we are members of his body, being of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. ³² Great is this mystery; but I speak of Christ and of the church. ³³ But yet, let each one of you so love his wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
