Bible verses about "offence" | LITV

¹¹ A man's discretion makes his anger slow, and his glory is to pass over a transgression.

¹⁷ And brothers I exhort you to watch those making divisions and causes of stumbling contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them. ¹⁸ For such ones do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth speaking and flattering they deceive the hearts of those without guile.

³² Be without offense both to Jews and Greeks, and to the church of God.

¹ If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² And if I have prophecies, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ And if I give out all my goods, and if I deliver my body that I be burned, but I do not have love, I am not profited anything. ⁴ Love has patience, is kind; love is not envious; love is not vain, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave indecently, does not pursue its own things, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth. ⁷ Love quietly covers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. ⁸ Love never fails. But if there are prophecies, they will be caused to cease; if tongues, they shall cease; if knowledge, it will be caused to cease. ⁹ For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; ¹⁰ but when the perfect thing comes, then that which is in part will be caused to cease. ¹¹ When I was an infant, I spoke as an infant, I thought as an infant, I reasoned as an infant. But when I became a man, I caused to cease the things of the infant. ¹² For now we see through a mirror in dimness, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will fully know even as I also was fully known. ¹³ And now faith, hope, and love, these three things remain; but the greatest of these is love.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you and does not bear this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and do not speak a greeting to him. ¹¹ For the one speaking a greeting shares in his evil works.

¹⁶ These six things Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul; ¹⁷ a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, ¹⁸ a heart that plots evil plans, feet hurrying to run to mischief, ¹⁹ a false witness who breathes lies, and he who causes strife among brothers.

¹⁷ And brothers I exhort you to watch those making divisions and causes of stumbling contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.
