Bible verses about "disrespect" | Goodspeed

⁴² And the Master said, "Who then will be the faithful, thoughtful manager, whom his master will put in charge of his household, to give the members of it their supplies at the proper time? ⁴³ Blessed is that slave if his master when he returns finds him doing it. ⁴⁴ I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his property. ⁴⁵ But if the slave says to himself, 'My master is not coming back for a long time,' and begins to beat the men and women slaves and to eat and drink and get drunk, ⁴⁶ that slave's master will come back some day when he does not expect him, and at some time of which he does not know, and will cut him in two, and put him with the unbelievers.

¹³ It is no superhuman temptation that you have had. And God can be depended on, not to let you be tried beyond your strength, but when temptation comes, to give you a way out of it, so that you can withstand it.

¹⁰ For we must all appear in our true characters before the tribunal of the Christ, each to be repaid with good or evil for the life he has lived in the body.

³ The husband must give his wife what is due her, and the wife must do the same by her husband. ⁴ A wife cannot do as she likes with her own person; it is her husband's; and in the same way a husband cannot do as he likes with his own person; it is his wife's. ⁵ You must not refuse each other what is due, unless you agree to do so for a while, to devote yourselves to prayer, and then to come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you through your lack of self-control.

⁹ With it we bless the Lord our Father, and with it we curse men made in God's likeness. ¹⁰ Blessing and cursing issue from the same mouth! This is not right, my brothers. ¹¹ Does a spring pour forth fresh and brackish water from the same crevice? ¹² Can a fig tree produce olives, my brothers, or a grape vine figs? A salt spring cannot give fresh water.

¹ All who are under the yoke of slavery must treat their masters with the greatest respect, so that the name of God and our teaching may not be abused.

¹ James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends greeting to the twelve tribes that are scattered over the world. ² You must find the greatest joy, my brothers, in being involved in various trials, ³ for you know that the testing of your faith leads to steadfastness, ⁴ and steadfastness must have full play, so that you may be fully and perfectly developed without any defects. ⁵ If any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously to everyone, and does not reproach one with it afterward, and he will give it to him. ⁶ But he must ask with faith, and without any doubt, for the man who doubts is like the billowing sea, driven and blown about by the wind. ⁷ Such a man must not expect to get anything from the Lord— ⁸ an irresolute person like him, who is uncertain about everything he does. ⁹ A brother of low position ought to be proud of his eminence, ¹⁰ but one who is rich ought to rejoice at being reduced in circumstances, for the rich will disappear like the wild flowers. ¹¹ For the sun comes up with its scorching heat and dries up the grass, and the flowers wither, and all their beauty is gone. That is the way rich men will fade and die in the midst of their pursuits. ¹² Blessed is the man who endures trial, for when he stands the test, he will be given the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. ¹³ No one should think when he is tempted that his temptation comes from God, for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil, and he does not tempt anyone. ¹⁴ When anyone is tempted, it is by his own desire that he is enticed and allured. ¹⁵ Then desire conceives and gives birth to sin, and when sin is mature, it brings forth death. ¹⁶ Do not be misled, my dear brothers. ¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect present is from heaven, and comes down from the Father of the heavenly lights, about whom there is no variation of changing shadow. ¹⁸ Of his own accord he brought us into being through the message of truth, so that we might be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures. ¹⁹ You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to be angry, ²⁰ for men's anger does not produce the uprightness God wishes. ²¹ So strip yourselves of everything that soils you, and of every evil growth, and in a humble spirit let the message that has the power to save your souls be planted in your hearts. ²² Obey the message; do not merely listen to it, and deceive yourselves. ²³ For anyone who merely listens to the message without obeying it is like a man who looks in a mirror at the face that nature gave him, ²⁴ and then goes off and immediately forgets what he looked like. ²⁵ But whoever looks at the faultless law that makes men free and keeps looking, so that he does not just listen and forget, but obeys and acts upon it, will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives himself, his religious observances are of no account. ²⁷ A religious observance that is pure and stainless in the sight of God the Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their trouble, and keep one's self unstained by the world.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! For the Scripture says, 'You must do homage to the Lord your God, and worship him alone!' "

⁹ If we acknowledge our sins, he is upright and can be depended on to forgive our sins and cleanse us from everything wrong.

²⁴ No one should look after his own advantage but after that of his neighbor.

¹ My dear children, I am writing you this so that you may not sin; yet if anyone does sin, we have in Jesus Christ one who is upright and will intercede for us with the Father. ² He is himself an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the whole world. ³ This is how we can be sure that we know him—by obeying his commands. ⁴ Whoever says, "I know him," but does not obey his commands, is a liar, and there is no truth in his heart; ⁵ but whoever obeys his message really has the love of God in perfection in his heart. This is the way we can be sure that we are in union with him; ⁶ whoever says, "I am always in union with him" must live just as he lived. ⁷ Dear friends, it is no new command that I am writing you, but an old one that you have had from the beginning. That old command is the same as the message you have heard. ⁸ Yet it is a new command that I am writing you; it is newly realized in him and in yourselves, for the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining. ⁹ Whoever says, "I am in the light," and yet hates his brother, is still in darkness. ¹⁰ Whoever loves his brother is always in the light and puts no hindrance in anyone's way. ¹¹ But whoever hates his brother is in darkness, and is living in darkness, and he does not know where he is going, for the darkness has blinded his eyes. ¹² I am writing to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven for his sake. ¹³ I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have been victorious over the evil one. I write to you, children, because you know the Father. ¹⁴ I write to you, fathers, because you know him who has existed from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and God's message is always in your hearts, and you have been victorious over the evil one. ¹⁵ Do not love the world or what is in the world. If anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in his heart, ¹⁶ for all that there is in the world, the things that our physical nature and our eyes crave, and the proud display of life—these do not come from the Father, but from the world; ¹⁷ and the world with its cravings is passing away, but whoever does God's will will endure forever. ¹⁸ Children, it is the last hour. You have heard that Antichrist is coming, and many Antichrists have indeed appeared. So we may be sure that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They have gone out from our number, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had, they would have stayed with us. It was to make it clear that none of them really belonged to us that they withdrew. ²⁰ But you have been anointed by the Holy One. You all know the truth; ²¹ I do not write to you because you do not know it, but because you do know it, and because no lie can come from the truth. ²² Who is such a liar as the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the real Antichrist—the man who disowns the Father and the Son. ²³ No one who disowns the Son can have the Father. Whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father too. ²⁴ Keep what you have heard from the beginning in your hearts; then you will always be in union with the Son and the Father. ²⁵ And what he himself has promised us is eternal life. ²⁶ I write you this with reference to those who are trying to mislead you. ²⁷ You still retain in your hearts the anointing with the Spirit that you received from him, and you do not need to have anyone teach you. But just as that anointing of his teaches you about everything, and as it is true and no falsehood, keep in union with him just as it has taught you to do. ²⁸ Now, dear children, keep in union with him, so that if he appears, we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame when he comes. ²⁹ If you know that he is upright, you may be sure that everyone who acts uprightly is his child.

² You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is—what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

²⁰ Children, always obey your parents, for that is commendable in Christians.

³³ Do not be misled. Bad company ruins character.
