Bible verses about "betrayal" | Moffatt

³ and Satan entered Judas called Iscariot, a member of the twelve, ⁴ who went off to discuss with the high priests and commanders how he could betray him to them. ⁵ They were delighted and agreed to pay him for it. ⁶ He assented to this and sought a good opportunity for betraying him to them in the absence of the crowd.

²¹ On saying this, Jesus was disquieted in spirit: he testified and said, "Truly, truly I tell you, one of you will betray me."

²³ All have sinned, all come short of the glory of God,

¹ James, a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion: greeting. ² Greet it as pure joy, my brothers, when you come across any sort of trial, ³ sure that the sterling temper of your faith produces endurance; ⁴ only, let your endurance be a finished product, so that you may be finished and complete, with never a defect. ⁵ Whoever of you is defective in wisdom, let him ask God who gives to all men without question or reproach, and the gift will be his. ⁶ Only, let him ask in faith, with never a doubt; for the doubtful man is like surge of the sea whirled and swayed by the wind; ⁷ that man need not imagine he will get anything from God, ⁸ double-minded creature that he is, wavering at every turn. ⁹ Let a brother of low position exult when he is raised; ¹⁰ but let one who is rich exult in being lowered; for the rich will pass away like the flower of the grass — ¹¹ up comes the sun with the scorching wind and withers the grass, its flower drops off, and the splendour of it is ruined: so shall the rich fade away amid their pursuits. ¹² Blessed is he who endures under trial; for when he has stood the test, he will gain the crown of life which is promised to all who love Him. ¹³ Let no one who is tried by temptation say, 'My temptation comes from God'; God is incapable of being tempted by evil and he tempts no one. ¹⁴ Everyone is tempted as he is beguiled and allured by his own desire; ¹⁵ then Desire conceives and breeds Sin, while Sin matures and gives birth to Death. ¹⁶ Make no mistake about this, my beloved brothers: ¹⁷ all we are given is good, and all our endowments are faultless, descending from above, from the Father of the heavenly lights, who knows no change of rising and setting, who casts no shadow on the earth. ¹⁸ It was his own will that we should be born by the Word of the truth, to be a kind of firstfruits among his creatures. ¹⁹ Be sure of that, my beloved brothers. Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to talk, slow to be angry — ²⁰ for human anger does not promote divine righteousness; ²¹ so clear away all the foul rank growth of malice, and make a soil of modesty for the Word which roots itself inwardly with power to save your souls. ²² Act on the Word, instead of merely listening to it and deluding yourselves. ²³ For whoever listens and does nothing, is like a man who glances at his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ he glances at himself, goes off, and at once forgets what he was like. ²⁵ Whereas he who gazes into the faultless law of freedom and remains in that position, proving himself to be no forgetful listener but an active agent, he will be blessed in his activity. ²⁶ Whoever considers he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, his religion is futile. ²⁷ Pure, unsoiled religion in the judgment of God the Father means this: to care for orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself from the stain of the world.

¹³ In him who strengthens me I am able for anything.

²⁵ Also, whenever you stand up to pray, if you have anything against anybody, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."

¹² Well then, whatever you would like men to do to you, do just the same to them; that is the meaning of the Law and the prophets.

⁴⁸ but Jesus said to him, "Judas! would you betray the Son of man with a kiss?"

¹⁰ And many will be repelled then, they will betray one another and hate one another.

¹⁴ For if you forgive men their trespasses, then your heavenly Father will forgive you; ¹⁵ but if you do not forgive men, your Father will not forgive your trespasses either.

¹⁰ To conclude. Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might; ¹¹ put on God's armour so as to be able to stand against the stratagems of the devil. ¹² For we have to struggle, not with blood and flesh but with the angelic Rulers, the angelic Authorities, the potentates of the dark present, the spirit-forces of evil in the heavenly sphere. ¹³ So take God's armour, that you may be able to make a stand upon the evil day and hold your ground by overcoming all the foe. ¹⁴ Hold your ground, tighten the belt of truth about your loins, wear integrity as your coat of mail, ¹⁵ and have your feet shod with the stability of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, take faith as your shield, to enable you to quench all the fire-tipped darts flung by the evil one, ¹⁷ put on salvation as your helmet, and take the Spirit as your sword (that is, the word of God), ¹⁸ praying at all times in the Spirit with all manner of prayer and entreaty — be alive to that, attend to it unceasingly, interceding on behalf of all the saints
