Bible verses about "reflecting" | Haweis

¹ I BESEECH you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. ² And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renovation of your mind, that you may prove by experience what is the will of God, that is good, acceptable, and perfect.

¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have respect in the presence of those who are seated with thee. ¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹² For now we see by reflected light, indistinctly; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know even as I am known.

¹⁸ And we all with face unveiled, beholding the glory of the Lord [reflected] as in a mirror, according to the same image, receive a transformation from glory into glory, as by the Lord, the Spirit.

¹ BE ye imitators of me, as I am of Christ. ² Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the injunctions as I delivered them unto you. ³ But I desire you to take notice that the head of every man is Christ; but the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. ⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, holding [a veil] over his head, dishonoureth his head; ⁵ but every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled, dishonoureth her head; for it is one and the same thing, as if she were shaven. ⁶ For if the woman be not veiled, let her hair be clipped: but if it would be scandalous for a woman to appear clipped or shaved, let her be veiled. ⁷ For a man indeed ought not to veil his head, being the image and the glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. ⁸ For the man is not from the woman, but the woman from the man. ⁹ Also the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. ¹⁰ Therefore ought the woman to retain upon her head [this badge of authority], because of the angels [of the churches]. ¹¹ Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man in the Lord. ¹² For as the woman was taken out of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things are of God. ¹³ Judge among yourselves, is it decent for a woman to be praying to God without a covering? ¹⁴ Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man wear long flowing hair it is a dishonour to him? ¹⁵ But if a woman let her hair flow, it is an ornament to her; for the hair was given her for a covering, ¹⁶ But if any man mean to be contentious about it, we have no such custom, nor the churches of God. ¹⁷ But in the matter I am going to denounce, I do not commend you, that ye meet together not for the better, but for the worse. ¹⁸ For in the first place, when ye assemble in the church, I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it. ¹⁹ For there must be heresies among you, that they who are the tried ones, may be made manifest among you. ²⁰ When therefore ye assemble in the same place, it is not to eat the Lord's supper. ²¹ For one in the eating it taketh before another his own supper: and one is hungry, and another drinks to excess. ²² What! have ye not houses to eat in and to drink? or despise ye the church of God, and make those ashamed who have none? What shall I say unto you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. ²³ For I received of the Lord what also I delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf: ²⁴ and when he had blessed it, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: do this in remembrance of me. ²⁵ In like manner also he took the cup, after they had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew forth the death of the Lord till he come. ²⁷ Wherefore, whosoever eateth of this bread, or drinketh the cup of the Lord unworthily, he is guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. ²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. ²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh condemnation to himself, not distinguishing the Lord's body. ³⁰ For this cause many are diseased and infirm among you, and some asleep [in death]. ³¹ For if we thoroughly judged ourselves, we should not be judged of the Lord. ³² But being judged, we are corrected by the Lord, that we might not be condemned with the world. ³³ Wherefore, when ye meet together to eat the Lord's supper, wait for one another. ³⁴ And if any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that ye meet not together for condemnation. And the other matters I will regulate when I come.

¹ BE ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; ² and walk in love as Christ also hath loved us, and given himself for us, an oblation and sacrifice to God, for an odour of a sweet smell. ³ But fornication and all impurity, or insatiable desire, let it not be mentioned among you, as becometh saints; ⁴ or obscenity, or foolish talk, or loose witticisms; things which become not [a Christian], but rather thanksgiving. ⁵ For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things, the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience. ⁷ Be not ye therefore partakers with them. ⁸ For ye were formerly darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light; ⁹ (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) ¹⁰ proving what is acceptable to the Lord. ¹¹ And have no society with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather rebuke them. ¹² For it is scandalous but to mention the things done of them in secret. ¹³ But all things which are rebukeable are made manifest by the light; for it is the light, by which every thing is made manifest. ¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light." ¹⁵ Take heed, then, that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, ¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore be not unwise, but intelligent concerning what is the will of the Lord. ¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which there is sottishness, but be filled with the Spirit; ¹⁹ speaking one to another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in the heart to the Lord; ²⁰ giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God even the Father; ²¹ being subject one to another in the fear of God. ²² Wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, as to the Lord. ²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; and is himself the saviour of the body. ²⁴ As then the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. ²⁵ Husbands, love your own wives, as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, purifying it in the laver of water by the word, ²⁷ that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having blemish, nor wrinkle, nor any such things; but that it may be holy and unblameable. ²⁸ So ought husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: ³⁰ for we are the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ³¹ For this reason shall a man forsake his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and the two shall be as one flesh. ³² This mystery is great: but I am speaking with regard to Christ, and with regard to the church. ³³ Nevertheless let every one of you individually see that each love his own wife even as himself; but the wife that she stand in awe of the husband.
