Bible verses about "intimidation" | Living_Oracles

¹² As many as wish to appear fair by the flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. ¹³ For not even do the circumcised themselves keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

³² And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free.

⁹ And, masters, do the same things to them, moderating threatening; knowing, also, that your Master is in heaven, and there is no respect of persons with him.

¹ James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes who are in the dispersion: Health. ² My brethren, count it all joy, when you fall into diverse trials; ³ knowing that the proof of your faith works out patience. ⁴ Let patience, therefore, have a perfect effect, that you may be perfect and complete, deficient in nothing. ⁵ If any of you be deficient in wisdom, let him ask it of God: who gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not, and it shall be given to him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, being not at all irresolute: for he who is irresolute, is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. ⁷ Now let not that man think, that he shall receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ A man of two minds, is unstable in all his ways. ⁹ Moreover, let the brother of humble condition glory in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his humiliation; for as a garden flower he shall pass away.- ¹¹ For the sun rises with a burning heat, and withers the herb, and its flower falls down, and the beauty of its appearance perishes: so also shall the rich man fade in his ways. ¹² Blessed is the man who sustains trial, for becoming an approved person, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to them who love him. ¹³ Let no one who is tempted say, Certainly I am tempted by God: for God is incapable of being tempted by evil things, and he tempts no one. ¹⁴ But every one is tempted, when he is drawn away, and enticed by his own lust: ¹⁵ then lust having conceived, brings forth sin, and sin, being perfected, brings forth death. ¹⁶ Be not deceived, my beloved brethren; ¹⁷ every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, descended from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variableness, nor shadow of turning. ¹⁸ Of his own will, he begot us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of fruits of his creatures. ¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; ²⁰ for the wrath of man works not out the righteousness of God. ²¹ Wherefore, putting away all filthiness, and overflowing of maliciousness, embrace with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves by false reasoning. ²³ For if any one be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man who views his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he who looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. ²⁵ But he who looks narrowly into the perfect law of liberty, and perseveres, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of its work, shall, in so doing, be happy. ²⁶ If any one among you think to be religious, who bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, the religion of this person is vain. ²⁷ Pure religion, and undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

²⁰ For if one enslave you, you bear it; if one devour you, if one take your goods, if one exalt himself, if one strike you on the face-

¹⁵ Strive to exhibit yourself to God an approved workman, irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of truth.

⁸ Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:

⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice; but of power, and of love, and of self-government.
