Bible verses about "manipulation" | Living_Oracles

⁴ Jesus answering, said to them, Take heed that no man seduce you:

¹⁹ Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these. Fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, ²⁰ sorcery, enmities, strifes, emulations, wraths, brawlings, factions, sects, ²¹ envying, murders, intoxications, revellings, and such like: concerning which I foretell you now, as I also have foretold, that they who practice these things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹ Stand fast, therefore, in the freedom with which Christ has freed us, and be not again held fast in the yoke of bondage.

⁴ Love suffers long, and is kind. Love envies not. Love does not vaunt; is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave itself unbecomingly; does not seek its own things; is not exasperated; does not imagine evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but greatly rejoices in the truth: ⁷ covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

¹⁸ For they who are such, do not serve out Lord Jesus, but their own belly; and by flattery and fair speeches, deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the complete armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the crafty ways of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with governments, with powers, with the rulers of this darkness: with spiritual wickedness in the heavenly regions. ¹³ For this reason, take up the complete armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having fully wrought everything, to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, then, having your loins girded about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; ¹⁵ and having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ Over all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ¹⁸ With all supplication and deprecation, pray at all seasons in spirit; and for this very purpose, watch with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints:

¹ But the Spirit expressly says, that in future times some will apostatize from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits, and to doctrines concerning demons;

⁶ That no man should go beyond bounds, or defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all such;

²⁰ If any one say, Indeed I love God, and yet hate his brother, he is a liar: for he who loves not his brother, whom he has seen, how can he love God, whom he has not seen?

⁴ even on account of the false brethren secretly introduced; (who came in privily to spy out our liberty, which we have by Jesus Christ, that they might bring us into bondage;)

¹⁵ Beware of false teachers, who come to you in the garb of sheep, while inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

¹ This, also, know, that in latter days perilous times will come. ² For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, defamers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, ³ without natural affection, bargain-breakers, slanderers, incontinent, fierce, haters of good men, ⁴ headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; ⁵ having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it. Now, from these, turn away.
