Bible verses about "unbelievers" | Noyes

¹⁵ If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments;

³⁰ Jesus answering said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers; who after stripping him of his raiment, and wounding him, departed, leaving him half dead. ³¹ And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road; and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. ³² And in like manner also a Levite, having arrived at the place, came and saw, and passed by on the other side. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, as he was journeying, came where he was, and when he saw him, had compassion, ³⁴ and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and setting him on his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And the next day, he took out two denaries and gave them to the host, and said, Take care of him; and whatever thou spendest more, I, when I come back, will repay thee. ³⁶ Which of these three, dost thou think, was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers? ³⁷ And he said, He that took pity on him. Then said Jesus to him, Go, and do thou likewise.

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is everlasting life, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse.

⁴ for the ruler is Gods servant to thee for good. But if thou doest evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is Gods servant, an avenger to inflict wrath upon him that doeth evil.

¹ Moreover, brethren, I declare anew to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also ye received, and wherein ye stand, ² by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the same word which I preached to you, unless ye believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Scriptures; ⁵ and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. ⁶ After that, he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some have fallen asleep. ⁷ After that, he appeared to James; then to all the apostles. ⁸ And last of all, as to one born out of due time, he appeared also to me. ⁹ For I am the least of the apostles, one not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. ¹⁰ But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Whether, then, it were I or they, thus we preach, and thus ye believed. ¹² But if Christ be preached that he hath risen from the dead, how is it that some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ hath not risen; ¹⁴ and if Christ hath not risen, then is our preaching vain, and vain also is your faith. ¹⁵ And we are also found false witnesses concerning God; because we testified concerning God that he raised up Christ, whom he did not raise up, if so be that the dead rise not. ¹⁶ For if the dead rise not, then Christ hath not risen; ¹⁷ and if Christ hath not risen, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins; ¹⁸ then also they that have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. ¹⁹ If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ²⁰ But now hath Christ risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that have fallen asleep. ²¹ For since through man came death, through man came also the resurrection of the dead. ²² For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ will all be made alive. ²³ But every one in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, afterward they that are Christs, at his coming. ²⁴ Then will be the end, when he delivereth up the kingdom to God, the Father, when he shall have destroyed all dominion, and all authority, and power. ²⁵ For he must reign, "till he hath put all enemies under his feet." ²⁶ The last enemy, death, will be destroyed; ²⁷ for "he put all things under his feet." But when it is said that all things have been put under him, it is manifest that he who put all things under him is excepted. ²⁸ And when all things have been put under him, then will also the Son himself become subject to him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. ²⁹ If it be not so, what are they doing, who are baptized for the dead? If the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for them? ³⁰ Why also do we stand in peril every hour? ³¹ I protest, brethren, by my glorying in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily. ³² If with the views of men I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it 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, as is your duty, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God; I say it to your shame. ³⁵ But some one will say, How are the dead to rise? and with what body do they come? ³⁶ Fool! that which thou sowest is not brought to life unless it die; ³⁷ and what thou sowest, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but a bare grain, of wheat perhaps, or of some of the other grains; ³⁸ but God giveth it a body, as he willed, and to every seed its own body. ³⁹ All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, another of fishes. ⁴⁰ There are also heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. ⁴² So also 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. If there is an animal body, there is also a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ Thus is it also written: "The first man Adam became a living soul;" the last Adam a lifegiving spirit. ⁴⁶ But the spiritual is not first, but the animal; and afterward the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. ⁴⁸ As was the earthy, such are they also that are earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly; ⁴⁹ and as we bore the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor doth corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep; but we shall all be changed, ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass that which is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." ⁵⁵ "Where, O death, is thy sting? Where, O death, is thy victory?" ⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the Law. ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, since ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

¹ Now concerning the collection for the saints, according to the directions which I gave to the churches of Galatia, so also do ye. ² Every first day of the week let each of you lay by him something in store, according as he hath prospered; that the collections may not have to be made when I come. ³ And when I am with you, I will send with letters whomever you may approve to carry your bounty to Jerusalem; ⁴ and if it be worth while for me to go also, they shall go with me. ⁵ Now I will come to you, when I have passed through Macedonia; for I am about to pass through Macedonia; ⁶ and perhaps I may remain, or even spend the winter with you, that ye may set me forward on my journey whithersoever I may be going. ⁷ For I am unwilling to see you now in passing; for I hope to stay some time with you if the Lord permit. ⁸ But I shall remain at Ephesus until the Pentecost; ⁹ for a door hath been opened to me great and effective, and there are many adversaries. ¹⁰ Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear; for he is laboring in the work of the Lord, as I am; ¹¹ let no one therefore despise him. But conduct him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brethren. ¹² As regards Apollos, the brother, I urged him much to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his will to come at this time; but he will come when he hath a convenient opportunity. ¹³ Watch, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong; ¹⁴ let all your doings be in love. ¹⁵ And I exhort you, brethren,ye know the family of Stephanas, that they are the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the service of the holy, ¹⁶ that ye submit yourselves to such as they are, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboreth. ¹⁷ I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; for what was lacking on your part, they supplied; ¹⁸ for they refreshed my spirit and yours. Pay regard then to those that are such. ¹⁹ The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Prisca, with the church that is in their house, send you many salutations in the Lord. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand. ²² If any one loveth not the Lord, let him be accursed! The Lord is at hand. ²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. ²⁴ My love is with you all in Christ Jesus.

¹² Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

⁸ But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the polluted with abominations, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

⁴ in whom the God of this world blinded the understandings of the unbelieving, so that they cannot behold the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

⁸ But if any one provideth not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

¹⁴ Be not strangely yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? Or what communion hath light with darkness?

⁹ I wrote to you in that letter, not to keep company with fornicators; ¹⁰ certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must go out of the world. ¹¹ But this is what I wrote you, not to keep company with any one called a brother, if he be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even to eat. ¹² For what have I to do with judging those who are without? Do not ye judge those who are within? ¹³ But those who are without, God will judge. Do ye put away that bad man from among yourselves.

¹⁸ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God on account of the ignorance that is in them, on account of the hardness of their hearts;

¹⁴ Be not strangely yoked with unbelievers; for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? Or what communion hath light with darkness? ¹⁵ And what concord hath Christ with Beliar? Or what part hath a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God said: "I will dwell among them, and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." ¹⁷ "Wherefore come out from the midst of them, and be separated, saith the Lord, and touch not anything unclean;" "and I will receive you, ¹⁸ and will be to you a father, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
