Bible verses about "ethics" | Rotherham

¹ A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.

³⁴ A new commandment, give I unto you,––That ye be loving one another: Just as I loved you, that, ye also, be loving one another: ³⁵ By this, shall all men take knowledge, that, my disciples, ye are,––If ye have, love, one to another.

³⁸ And Peter [said] unto them––Repent ye, and let each one of you be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, into the remission of your sins,––and ye shall receive the free–gift of the Holy Spirit;

¹ Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn,––for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:

¹² Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life––which he hath promised unto them that love him.
¹³ Let, no one, while tempted, be saying––From God, am I tempted,––for, God, cannot be tempted by things evil, and, himself, tempteth no one; ¹⁴ But, each one, is tempted, when, by his own coveting, he is drawn out and enticed, ¹⁵ Then, the coveting, having conceived, giveth birth to sin, and, the sin, when full–grown, bringeth forth death.

¹ What then shall we say? are we still to continue in sin that favour may abound? ² Far be it! we who have died unto sin, how, any longer, shall we live therein? ³ Or know ye not that, we, as many as were immersed into Christ [Jesus], into his death were immersed? ⁴ We were, therefore, buried together with him through our immersion into his death, in order that––just as Christ was raised from among the dead through the glory of the Father, so, we also, in newness of life should walk. ⁵ For, if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of his death, certainly, in that of his resurrection also, shall we be. ⁶ Of this taking note––that, our old man, was crucified together with him in order that the sinful body might be made powerless, that we should, no longer, be in servitude to sin; ⁷ For, he that hath died, hath become righteously acquitted from his sin. ⁸ Now, if we have died together with Christ, we believe that we shall also live together with him; ⁹ Knowing that, Christ having been raised from among the dead, no more dieth,––death, over him, no more, hath lordship,–– ¹⁰ For, in that he died, unto sin, died he once for all, but, in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. ¹¹ So, ye also, be reckoning yourselves to be––dead indeed unto sin, but, alive unto God in Christ Jesus. ¹² Let not sin, therefore, reign in your death–doomed body, that ye should be obedient to its covetings; ¹³ Neither be presenting your members as weapons of unrighteousness unto sin, but present yourselves unto God as though alive from among the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness unto God; ¹⁴ For, sin, over you, shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under favour. ¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it! ¹⁶ Know ye not that, unto whom ye are presenting yourselves as servants for obedience, servants ye are unto [him unto] whom ye are obedient, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness? ¹⁷ But thanks be unto God, that––whereas ye were servants of sin, ye became obedient out of the heart unto the mould of teaching into which ye were delivered; ¹⁸ And, being freed from sin, ye were made servants unto righteousness; –– ¹⁹ In human fashion am I speaking, because of the weakness of your flesh; ––for, just as ye presented your members as servants unto impurity and unto lawlessness [for lawlessness], so now, present ye your members as servants unto righteousness for sanctification. ²⁰ For, when ye were servants of sin, ye were free as to righteousness; –– ²¹ What fruit, therefore, had ye then––in things for which ye now are taking shame to yourselves? For, the end of those things, is death. ²² Whereas, now, having been freed from sin, and made servants unto God, ye have your fruit for sanctification and, the end, life age–abiding. ²³ For, the wages of sin, is death; but, God’s gift of favour, is life age–abiding, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²¹ Let, blamelessness and uprightness, watch over me, because I have waited for thee.

¹ Although with the tongues of men, I be speaking, and of messengers, and have not, love, I have become resounding brass, or a clanging cymbal; ² And, though I have [the gift of] prophesying, and know all sacred secrets, and all knowledge,––and though I have all faith, so as to be removing mountains, and have not, love, I am, nothing; ³ And, though I morsel out all my goods,––and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.
⁴ Love, is patient, is gracious. Love, is not envious, vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, ⁵ Acteth not unbecomingly, seeketh not her own things, is not easily provoked, imputeth not that which is base, ⁶ Rejoiceth not over unrighteousness, but rejoiceth in sympathy with truth,–– ⁷ All things, covereth, all things, believeth, all things, hopeth, all things, endureth.
⁸ Love, at no time, faileth; ––but, whether prophesyings, they shall be done away, whether tongues, they shall cease, whether gaining knowledge, it shall be done away; ⁹ For, in part, are we gaining knowledge, and, in part, are we prophesying,–– ¹⁰ But, as soon as that which is complete is come, that which is in part, shall be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, to prefer as child, to reason as a child: now I have become a man, I have laid aside the things of the child! ¹² For we see, as yet, through a dim window, obscurely, but, then, face to face: as yet, I gain knowledge, in part, but, then, shall I fully know, even as I was also fully known. ¹³ But, now abide––faith, hope, love,––these three; but, the greatest of these, is, love.

⁸ Nothing to any, be owing––save to be loving one another; for, he that loveth his neighbour, hath given to, law, its fulfillment. ⁹ For, this––Thou shall not commit adultery, Thou shall not commit murder, Thou shall not steal, Thou shall not covet, and if there is any different commandment, in this word, is summed up, [namely]––Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ¹⁰ Love, unto one’s neighbour, worketh not ill; Law’s fullness, therefore, is, love.

¹⁶ Every scripture, [is] God–breathed, and profitable––unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto the discipline that is in righteousness,–– ¹⁷ In order that, ready, may be the man, of God, unto every good work, being well–prepared.

⁹ Or know ye not that, wrong–doers, shall not inherit, God’s kingdom? Be not deceiving yourselves:––neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners––shall inherit, God’s kingdom. ¹¹ And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away,––but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of [our] Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.
