Bible verses about "rudeness" | Goodspeed

⁶ Anyone who does not remain united to me is thrown away like a branch and withers up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire and burn them.

² Bear one another's burdens, and in that way carry out the law of the Christ.

¹ First of all, then, I urge that entreaties, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be offered for all men, ² for emperors and all who are in authority, so that we may live tranquil, quiet lives, with perfect piety and probity. ³ It is right to do this, and it pleases God our Savior, ⁴ who wants all men to be saved and to come to know the truth. ⁵ For there is but one God, and one intermediary between God and men—the man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave himself as a ransom for all men. This is what was testified to at the proper times, ⁷ and I was appointed a herald and apostle of it—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—to teach the heathen faith and truth. ⁸ I want the men everywhere to offer prayer, lifting to heaven hands that are holy, without any angry disputes. ⁹ Women for their part are to dress modestly and sensibly in proper clothes, not adorning themselves by braiding their hair or with gold or pearls or expensive clothing, ¹⁰ but, as is appropriate for women who profess to be religious, with good actions. ¹¹ Women must listen quietly in church and be perfectly submissive. ¹² I do not allow women to teach or to domineer over men; they must keep quiet. ¹³ For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; ¹⁴ and it was not Adam who was deceived, it was the woman who was deluded and fell into sin. ¹⁵ But they will be saved through motherhood, if they continue to have faith and to be loving and holy, and sensible as well.

⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of wrong the tongue proves in our bodies, soiling the whole body and setting fire to the whole round of nature, and set on fire itself by hell.

¹ Free yourselves, therefore, from all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of any kind, ² and like new-born babes crave the pure spiritual milk that will make you grow up to salvation, ³ since you have tasted the Lord's kindness. ⁴ Come to him, as to a living stone rejected by men, but chosen and prized in the sight of God, ⁵ and build yourselves up as living stones into a spiritual house for a consecrated priesthood, so as to offer spiritual sacrifices that through Jesus Christ will be acceptable to God. ⁶ For it says in Scripture, "Here I lay a choice stone in Zion, a costly cornerstone; No one who believes in it will ever be disappointed!" ⁷ It is you, therefore, who believe who see its value, but for men who do not believe, "The stone which the builders refused has been made a cornerstone," ⁸ and "A stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip them up." They stumble over the message because they will not obey it; that is their destiny. ⁹ But you are the chosen race, the royal priesthood, the consecrated nation, his own people, so that you may declare the virtues of him who has called you out of darkness into his wonderful light; ¹⁰ you who were once "no people" but are now "God's people"; once "unpitied" but now "pitied indeed." ¹¹ Dear friends, I beg you, as aliens and exiles here, not to indulge the physical cravings that are at war with the soul. ¹² Live upright lives among the heathen, so that even if they charge you with being evil-doers, they may from observing the uprightness of your conduct come to praise God on the Day of Judgment. ¹³ Submit to all human authority, for the Master's sake; to the emperor, as supreme, ¹⁴ and to governors, as sent by him to punish evil-doers, and to encourage those who do right. ¹⁵ For it is the will of God that by doing right you should silence the ignorant charges of foolish people. ¹⁶ Live like free men, only do not make your freedom an excuse for doing wrong, but be slaves of God. ¹⁷ Treat everyone with respect. Love the brotherhood, be reverent to God, respect the emperor. ¹⁸ You servants must be submissive to your masters and perfectly respectful to them; not only to those who are kind and considerate, but also to those who are unreasonable. ¹⁹ For God approves a man if from a sense of duty he endures suffering unjustly inflicted— ²⁰ for what credit is there in your enduring being beaten for doing wrong? But if you endure suffering for doing what is right, you have God's approval. ²¹ That is the life to which you have been called, for Christ himself suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow his footsteps. ²² He committed no sin, and deceit was never on his lips. ²³ He was abused but he did not retort. He suffered but he did not threaten, but committed his case to him who judges justly. ²⁴ He carried the burden of our sins in his own body on the cross, in order that we might die to sin and live for uprightness. By his wounds you have been healed. ²⁵ For you were astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

¹ I will show you a far better way. If I can speak the languages of men and even of angels, but have no love, I am only a noisy gong or a clashing cymbal. ² If I am inspired to preach and know all the secret truths and possess all knowledge, and if I have such perfect faith that I can move mountains, but have no love, I am nothing. ³ Even if I give away everything I own, and give myself up, but do it in pride, not love, it does me no good. ⁴ Love is patient and kind. Love is not envious or boastful. It does not put on airs. ⁵ It is not rude. It does not insist on its rights. It does not become angry. It is not resentful. ⁶ It is not happy over injustice, it is only happy with truth. ⁷ It will bear anything, believe anything, hope for anything, endure anything. ⁸ Love will never die out. If there is inspired preaching, it will pass away. If there is ecstatic speaking, it will cease. If there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For our knowledge is imperfect and our preaching is imperfect. ¹⁰ But when perfection comes, what is imperfect will pass away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside my childish ways. ¹² For now we are looking at a dim reflection in a mirror, but then we shall see face to face. Now my knowledge is imperfect, but then I shall know as fully as God knows me. ¹³ So faith, hope, and love endure. These are the great three, and the greatest of them is love.

²² But I tell you that anyone who gets angry with his brother will have to answer to the court, and anyone who speaks contemptuously to his brother will have to answer to the great council, and anyone who says to his brother 'You cursed fool!' will have to answer for it in the fiery pit!
