Bible verses about "safety" | Wesley

¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹ Him that is weak in the faith, receive; but not to doubtful disputations. ² For one believeth, that he may eat all things; another who is weak, eateth herbs. ³ Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him that eateth not, judge him that eateth; for God hath received him. ⁴ Who art thou that judgest another's servant? To his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be upheld; for God is able to establish him. ⁵ One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike; let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. ⁶ He that regardeth the day, regardeth it to the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord; for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. ⁷ For none of us liveth to himself, and none dieth to himself. But if we live, we live unto the Lord; and if we die, we die unto the Lord. ⁸ Whether therefore we live or die, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For to this end Christ both died and lived again, that he might be the Lord both of the dead and of the living. ¹⁰ But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. ¹² So then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God. ¹³ Let us therefore no longer judge one another; but judge this rather, not to lay a stumbling block, or a scandal before a brother. ¹⁴ I know and am assured by the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: but to him that accounteth any thing to be unclean, it is unclean. ¹⁵ But if thy brother is grieved by thy meat, thou no longer walkest charitably. Destroy not him by thy meat, for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Therefore let not your good be evil spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ And he that in these serveth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approved by men. ¹⁹ Let us therefore pursue the things that tend to peace, and to mutual edification. ²⁰ For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure: but it is evil to that man who eateth with offence. ²¹ It is good, not to eat flesh, neither to drink wine, nor to do any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weak. ²² Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. ²³ But he that doubteth is condemned if he eat, because it is not of faith; for whatsoever is not of faith, is sin.

¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your need, according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

¹⁸ And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the glory for ever, and ever.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ strengthening me.

¹² Happy is the man that endureth temptation: for when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

¹¹ Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
