There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before Me, says the Lord.

³ And you retained many shepherds for a stumbling block to yourself. You had a whore's face; you became shameless toward all.

²² For the princes of My people have not known Me, they are foolish and unwise children. They are wise to do evil, but how to do good they have not known.

⁸ They became as wanton horses — each one neighed after his neighbor's wife. ⁹ Shall I not punish them for these things? Says the Lord: and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

³ And they have bent their tongue like a bow; falsehood and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth; for they have gone on from evil to evil, and have not known Me, says the Lord. ⁴ Beware, each of his neighbor, and trust not in your brother, for everyone will surely supplant, and every friend will walk craftily. ⁵ Everyone will mock his friend; they will not speak truth; their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.

²⁰ And I will make you to this people as a strong bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall by no means prevail against you.

²⁴ Shall anyone hide himself in secret places, and I not see him? Do I not fill heaven and earth? Says the Lord.

¹⁶ Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I will cast you off from the face of the earth — this year you shall die!

⁷ All that found them consumed them. Their enemies said, Let us not leave them alone, because they have sinned against the Lord. He that gathered their fathers had a pasture of righteousness.

²⁵ and on the head of every road you set up your fornications, and defiled your beauty, and opened your feet to every passer by, and multiplied your fornication.

³⁰ Why should I make a covenant with your daughter, says the Lord, while you do all these things, the works of a harlot? And you have gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with your daughters. ³¹ You have built a house of harlotry at the head of every road, and have set up your high place in every street; and you became as a harlot gathering payments. ³² An adulteress resembles you, taking rewards of her husband.

³⁴ And there has happened in you perverseness in your fornication beyond other women, and they have committed fornication with you, in that you give payments over and above, and payments were not given to you; and thus perverseness happened in you.

⁵ to those near you, and to those far away; and they shall mock you, you that are notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.

⁵ And Oholah went a-whoring from Me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors, ⁶ clothed with purple, princes and captains; they were young men and choice, all horsemen riding on horses.

¹² She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; they were all choice young men. ¹³ And I saw that they were defiled, that the two had one way. ¹⁴ And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil, ¹⁵ having variegated belts on their loins, having also richly dyed turbans upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land. ¹⁶ And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.

⁹ Now God had brought Daniel into favor and compassion with the chief of the eunuchs.

²¹ Then those men were bound with their coats, caps, and trousers, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace, ²² forasmuch as the king's word prevailed; and the furnace was made exceedingly hot.

²² My God has sent His angel, and stopped the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me: for uprightness was found in me before Him; and moreover before you, O king, I have committed no trespass.

²³ Thus says the Lord Almighty; In those days My word shall be fulfilled if ten men of all the languages of the nations should take hold — even take hold of the hem of a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you.

⁵ And I will draw near to you in judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the witches, and against the adulteresses, and against them that swear falsely by My name, and against them that keep back the hireling's wages, and them that oppress the widow, and afflict orphans, and that wrest the judgment of the stranger, and do not fear Me, says the Lord Almighty.

²³ "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

¹¹ "Blessed are you whenever they revile you, and they persecute you, and they say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

¹⁶ Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and they may glorify your Father who is in heaven.

²⁸ But I say to you, that whoever looks at a woman in order to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

⁵⁹ Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the Sanhedrin were seeking false witnesses against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death,

⁶⁵ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!

⁵¹ Now a certain young man had followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men seized him, ⁵² but leaving behind the linen cloth, he fled from them naked.

⁴⁸ But he who did not know, yet did things worthy of blows, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be demanded; and to whom much has been entrusted, of him they will ask much more.

¹⁰ He that is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in what is least is also unjust in much.

¹⁷ And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

² And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this Man perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King."

⁹ "And the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,

⁹ "And the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him, ¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him ruler over Egypt and all his house.

²⁰ At this time Moses was born, and he was well pleasing to God; who was brought up in his father's house for three months.

³¹ And he said, "How can I, if not someone guides me?" And he urged Philip to come up and sit with him.

²⁸ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit placed you as overseers, to shepherd the church of the Lord, and of God, which He purchased with His own blood.

¹⁶ To them I answered, 'It is not a custom with Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the one being accused may meet his accusers face to face, and may receive an opportunity for defense concerning the charge.'

²⁴ saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; for it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those sailing with you.'

³¹ What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up on behalf of us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

³⁷ But in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

² Now furthermore what is required among the stewards, is that one be found faithful.

⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor covetous, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor abusive people, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

¹⁸ Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

²⁰ Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. ²¹ Were you called as a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather make use of it. ²² For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord's free man. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ's slave. ²³ You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men. ²⁴ Brothers, let each one remain with God in the state in which he was called.

³³ Do not be deceived: "Evil associations corrupts good habits."

² On the first day of the week let each one of you put something aside, storing up whatever he may prosper, in order that there be no collections when I come.

⁸ by honor and dishonor, by ill repute and good repute; as deceivers, and yet true;

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are: adultery, fornication, immorality, lewdness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, ²¹ envies, murders, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like; which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ,

³ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

¹² For it is shameful even to speak of those things being done by them in secret.

¹⁵ in order that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as light bearers in the world, ¹⁶ holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

¹¹ And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie,

¹⁴ Therefore I desire that the younger widows to marry, to bear children, to manage the house, to give no opportunity to the adversary because of reproach.

¹ Let as many as are slaves under a yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.

⁹ in which I endure hardship unto chains as an evildoer; but the word of God is not chained.

²² Flee youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

⁹ Exhort bondservants to be subject to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not talking back, ¹⁰ not embezzling, but showing good faith, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

¹⁰ not embezzling, but showing good faith, so that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things.

³ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, being enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

⁴ Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

¹¹ Beloved, I implore you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from the lusts of the flesh which war against the soul;

¹⁹ For this is admirable, if because of conscience toward God someone endures pain, suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what glory is it, if when you sin and are beaten, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it, you endure, this is admirable before God.

¹³ And who is he that shall injure you if you become imitators of that which is good? ¹⁴ But even if you should suffer on account of righteousness, you are blessed. "But do not fear their threats, nor be troubled."

¹⁴ But even if you should suffer on account of righteousness, you are blessed. "But do not fear their threats, nor be troubled." ¹⁵ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be prepared with a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; ¹⁶ having a good conscience, so that in what they speak against you as evildoers, those reviling your good conduct in Christ may be put to shame. ¹⁷ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if it is the will of God, than for doing evil.

¹⁷ For it is better to suffer for doing good, if it is the will of God, than for doing evil. ¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once to atone for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,

¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, blessed are you, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On the one hand He is blasphemed, but on the other He is glorified.

¹⁴ If you are reviled in the name of Christ, blessed are you, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On the one hand He is blasphemed, but on the other He is glorified. ¹⁵ For let not anyone of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people's affairs;

¹⁵ For let not anyone of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other people's affairs; ¹⁶ but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be put to shame, but let him glorify God in this matter.

¹⁶ but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be put to shame, but let him glorify God in this matter. ¹⁷ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who are disobedient to the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And "If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the godless and the sinner appear?" ¹⁹ Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

¹⁴ having eyes full of adultery and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart having been trained in greediness, they are accursed children.

¹⁶ Because everything that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not from the Father but is from the world.

⁹ No one who has been born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

⁹ Behold, I will give those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews and are not, but they are lying—behold, I will compel them to come and bow down at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

⁸ But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and sinners, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and drug users, and idolaters, and all who are false shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

¹⁵ But outside are dogs and drug users and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie.
