Bible verses about "cruelty" | MNT

²¹ From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes— ²² fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly—

²⁸ "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

⁴ "But I say to you who are my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.

¹ Where do the conflicts and quarrels that go on among you come from? Do they not come from your passions which are always making war among your bodily members? ² You continually crave and do not obtain; you are killing and coveting and cannot acquire; you are fighting and at war. You do not have, because you do not ask. ³ You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures. ⁴ You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and enemy of God. ⁵ Or do you suppose that it is in vain that the Scripture says, "The spirit which has its home in us yearns over us unto jealousy?" ⁶ But he gives more and more grace. therefore it is said, God ever resists the proud; but to the humble he gives grace continually. ⁷ So then ever be subject to God, Ever resist the devil and he will flee from you. ⁸ Draw near to God And he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, And purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹ Lament and mourn, and weep aloud! Let your laughter be turned into mourning, And your joy into gloom! ¹⁰ Humble yourselves before the Lord, And he will raise you up. ¹¹ Do not be talking against each other, brothers. He who is talking against a brother and condemning his brothers is talking against the Law and condemning the Law. But if you are condemning the Law, you are not a doer of the Law, but a judge. ¹² But One is your Lawgiver and Judge—he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you, to be condemning your neighbor? ¹³ Go to now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we shall journey to such a city and spend a year there, and trade and make money," ¹⁴ when all the time you do not know what will happen on the morrow. For what is your life? You are but a mist, appearing for a brief time, and then vanishing. ¹⁵ You ought instead to say, "If the Lord wills it, we shall live and do this or that." ¹⁶ But now you are glorying in these insolent boastings of yours; all such glorying is evil. ¹⁷ So to him who knows how to do right and does not do it, to him it is sin.
