Bible verses about "unbelievers" | Living_Oracles

¹⁶ And if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised, ¹⁷ Farther, if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins. ¹⁸ Certainly, also, they who are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. ¹⁹ If in this life, only, we have hope in Christ, we are, of all men, the most miserable. ²⁰ But now Christ is raised from the dead, -the first fruit of them who have fallen asleep. ²¹ For since through a man came death, through a man also comes the resurrection of the dead. ²² Therefore, as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all shall be made alive. ²³ But every one in his own rank: Christ the first fruit; they that are Christ's, afterward, at his coming. ²⁴ Then comes the end, when he shall resign the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all government, and all authority, and power. ²⁵ For he must reign till he has put all the enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy, Death, shall be destroyed. ²⁷ For he has subjected all things under his feet. Now when it says that all things are subjected, it is manifest that he is excepted, who has subjected all things to him. ²⁸ Now, when all things are subjected to him, then even the Son himself shall be subjected to him, who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all. ²⁹ Otherwise, what shall they do, who are immersed for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why then are they immersed for them? ³⁰ And why do we endanger ourselves every hour? ³¹ I solemnly declare, by your rejoicing, what I also have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that every day I die. ³² If, after the manner of men, I have fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what is the advantage to me, if the dead rise not? Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. ³³ Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. ³⁴ Awake up as you ought, and sin not; for some of you have not the knowledge of God. For shame to you, I say it. ³⁵ But some one will say, How can the dead be raised up? and with what kind of body do they come? ³⁶ Simpleton! what you sow is not made alive, except it die. ³⁷ And as to what you sow, you do not show the body which shall be produced, but the naked grain; it may be of wheat, or of any other kind: ³⁸ but God gives it a body, as it has pleased him; and to each of the seeds, its proper body. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is, indeed, one flesh of men, and another of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of fowls. ⁴⁰ And there are bodies celestial, and bodies terrestrial: but different, indeed, is the glory of the celestial, and that of the terrestrial. ⁴¹ The glory of the sun is one, and the glory of the moon is another, and the glory of the stars another; moreover, star excels star in glory. ⁴² Just so is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption-it is raised in incorruption: ⁴³ it is sown in dishonor-it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness-it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ it is sown an animal body-it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body, and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ For thus it is written, "The first man, Adam, was made a living soul-the last Adam, a vivifying spirit." ⁴⁶ However, that was not first, which is spiritual; but that which is animal, and then that which is spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man, from the earth, was earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As was the earthy, so also are the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such also shall be heavenly. ⁴⁹ For, as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ And this I affirm, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God; neither can corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a secret: we shall not, indeed, all die; but we shall all be changed; ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for it shall sound, and then the dead shall be raised incorruptible; and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible body, must put on incorruption; and this mortal body must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ Now, when this corruptible body shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal body shall have put on immortality, then that saying of scripture shall be accomplished, "Death is swallowed up forever." ⁵⁵ Death! where is thy sting? Hades! where is thy victory? ⁵⁶ For the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ Now thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be stable, unmoved; abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

¹ Now, concerning the collection, which is for the saints; as I ordered the congregations of Galatia, so also so you. ² On the first say of the week, let each of you lay somewhat by itself, according as he may have prospered, putting it into the treasury; that when I come, there may be then no collection. ³ And when I come, whomsoever you shall approve by letters, them I will send to carry your gift to Jerusalem. ⁴ Or, if it be proper that even I should go, they shall go with me. ⁵ Now, I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia, (for I do pass through Macedonia;) ⁶ and, perhaps, I shall abide, and even winter with you, that you may send me forward, whithersoever I may go. ⁷ For I will not now see you in passing; but I hope to remain with you sometime, if the Lord permit. ⁸ However, I shall remain at Ephesus till Pentecost. ⁹ For a great and effectual door is opened to me, yet there are many opposers. ¹⁰ Now, if Timothy be come, take care that he be among you without fear; for he works, even as I do, the work of the Lord. ¹¹ Wherefore, let no one despise him; but send him forward in peace, that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren. ¹² And with relation to our brother Apollos, I entreated him much to go to you with the brethren; but his inclination was not at all to go now, but he will go when he shall find a convenient season. ¹³ Watch; stand fast in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong. ¹⁴ Let all things be done with love. ¹⁵ You know the family of Stephanus, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints. ¹⁶ I entreat you, therefore, brethren, that you submit yourselves to such, and to every joint worker and laborer. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanus, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus; for they have supplied your deficiency, ¹⁸ and have refreshed my spirit and yours; wherefore, acknowledge such persons. ¹⁹ The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the congregation which is in their house. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of Paul with my own hand. ²² If any one love not the Lord Jesus Christ, he shall be accursed when the Lord comes. ²³ The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

¹⁵ If you love me, keep my commandments;

¹⁶ for God has so loved the world, as to give his own begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him, may not perish, but obtain eternal life.

³⁰ Jesus said, in return, A man of Jerusalem, traveling to Jericho, fell among robbers; who, having stripped and wounded him, went away, leaving him half dead. ³¹ A priest, accidentally going that way, and seeing him, passed by on the father side. ³² Likewise a Levite, on the road, when he came near the place, and saw him, passed by on the farther side. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion, ³⁴ and went up to him; and having poured wine and oil into his wounds, he bound them up. Then he set him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ On the morrow, when he was going away, he took out two denarii, and giving them to the host, said, Take care of this man, and whatever you spend more, when I return I will repay you. ³⁶ Now which of these three, do you think, was neighbor to him who fell among the robbers? ³⁷ The lawyer answered, He who took pity upon him. Then said Jesus, Go you and do in like manner.

²³ For the wages of sin is death: but the gracious gift of God is everlasting life, by Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ (for his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, since the creation of the world, are very evident; being known by his works:) so that they are inexcusable.

⁴ For the ruler is a servant of God for good to you. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; because he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is a servant of God, a revenger to inflict wrath on him who works evil.

¹ Now I declare to you, brethren, the glad tidings which I announced to; which, also, you have received, and in which you stand. ² By which, also, you are saved, if you retain those joyful tidings which I delivered to you; unless you believed to no purpose. ³ For I delivered to you, among the first things, what also I received first-that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. ⁶ After that, he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present time, but some are fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he was seen by James; then, by all the Apostles. ⁸ And, last of all he was seen by me, as by one born out of due time. ⁹ For I am the least of the Apostles; who am not worthy to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God. ¹⁰ But, by the favor of God, I am what I am: and his favor which was bestowed on me, was not vain; for I have labored more abundantly than all of them; yet not I, but the favor of God, which is with me. ¹¹ Well, then, whether I or they, so we proclaim, and so you believed. ¹² Now, if it be proclaimed that Christ was raised from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ For if there be no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ has not been raised, vain, certainly, is our proclamation, and vain, also, is your faith. ¹⁵ Besides, we are found even false witnesses concerning God; because we have witnessed, with respect to God, that he raised Christ; whom he raised not, if, indeed, the dead are not raised.

¹² Brethren, take heed, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, by departing from the living God.

⁸ But, as for the cowards, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and prostitutes, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars-their part shall be in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

⁴ among whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might shine into them.

⁸ For if any one provide not for his own, and especially those of his own family, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness?

⁹ I wrote you, in that epistle, not to associate with the vicious; ¹⁰ but I did not mean in general the fornicators of this world, the avaricious, the rapacious, or the idolaters; seeing, then, indeed, you must go out of the world. ¹¹ But now I write to you, if any one, called a brother, be a fornicator, or a covetous person, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; not to associate, not even to eat, with such a person. ¹² For what have I to do to pronounce sentence on them also who are without? Do not you judge them who are within? ¹³ But them are without, God judges. Therefore, put away from among yourselves the wicked person.

¹⁸ having their understandings darkened; being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

¹⁴ Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion has light with darkness? ¹⁵ what concord has Christ with Belial? or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? for you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, "Assuredly I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹⁷ Wherefore, come out from among them, and be separated, says the Lord, and touch no unclean person; and I will receive you; ¹⁸ and I be to you a Father, and you shall be to me sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."
