Bible verses about "reflecting" | Noyes

¹ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, wellpleasing to God, which is your spiritual worship; ² and be not conformed to the fashion of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that ye may learn by experience what is the will of God, what is good, and wellpleasing, and perfect.

¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go and recline in the lowest place, that when he who invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher. Then wilt thou have honor in the presence of all who are at table with thee. ¹¹ For every one that exalteth himself will be humbled; and he that humbleth himself will be exalted.

¹² For now we see in a mirror, obscurely; but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I shall fully know even as I also am fully known.

¹⁸ But we all with unveiled face beholding in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

¹ Follow my example, as I do that of Christ. ² Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and hold fast the instructions, as I delivered them to you. ³ But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man that prayeth or prophesieth having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. ⁵ But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if her head were shaved. ⁶ For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn; but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. ⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man; ⁸ for the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man; ⁹ and the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ For this cause the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because 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 from the man, so also is the man by the woman; but all things from God. ¹³ Judge in your own selves; is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered? ¹⁴ Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a shame to him, ¹⁵ but that if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her? for her hair is given for a covering. ¹⁶ But if any one seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God. ¹⁷ But I give you this charge, not praising you, because ye come together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For in the first place, when ye come together in assembly of the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it; ¹⁹ for there must be also parties among you, that they who are approved may also become manifest among you. ²⁰ When ye come together then in the same place, there is no eating of the Lords supper. ²¹ For, when ye eat, every one taketh before any distribution his own supper, and one is hungry, and another is drunken. ²² What! have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God, and shame those who have nothing? What am I to say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I do not praise you. ²³ For I received of the Lord, what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf, ²⁴ and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, This is my body, which is for you; this do in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new covenant, in my blood; this do, as oft as ye drink, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye show forth the Lords death, till he come. ²⁷ So that whoever eateth the bread or drinketh the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty with respect to the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup; ²⁹ for he that eateth and drinketh eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, if he do not discern the body. ³⁰ For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and some are falling asleep. ³¹ But if we judged ourselves, we should not be judged; ³² but when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait for one another. ³⁴ If any one hunger, let him eat at home; that ye may not come together to condemnation. And the rest I will set in order when I come.

¹ Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love, as Christ also loved you, and gave himself for you an offering and a sacrifice to God, of a sweet odor. ³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints, ⁴ neither obscenity, nor foolish talking, nor indecent jesting, which are not becoming; but rather giving of thanks. ⁵ For of this ye are sure, since ye know that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ⁶ Let no one deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God cometh upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷ Be not therefore partakers with them. ⁸ For ye were once darkness, but now ye are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, ⁹ for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth, ¹⁰ proving what is acceptable to the Lord; ¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them. ¹² For the things done in secret by them it is a shame even to speak of. ¹³ But all things, when reproved, are made manifest by the light; for whatever maketh manifest is light. ¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give thee light." ¹⁵ See then that ye walk circumspectly; not as unwise men, but as wise; ¹⁶ buying up for yourselves opportunities, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Wherefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹ speaking to one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ²¹ submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of Christ. ²² Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord; ²³ for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church,he, who is the Saviour of the body. ²⁴ But as the church is subject to Christ, so let wives be to their husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it, ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the bath of the water in the word; ²⁷ that he himself might present to himself the church, glorious, having no spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish. ²⁸ In like manner husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself; ²⁹ for no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ doth the church; ³⁰ for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ "For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." ³² This mystery is a great one; but I am speaking of Christ and of the church. ³³ However, do ye also severally love each one his own wife as himself; and let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
