Bible verses about "ethics" | Murdock

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that ye be affectionate to each other. As I have loved you, do ye also love one another. ³⁵ By this will every one know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love for each other.

³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹ There is therefore no excuse for thee, O man, that judgest thy neighbor; for by judging thy neighbor, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, dost practise the same things.

¹² Blessed is the man who endureth temptations; so that when he is proved he may receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him. ¹³ Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted with evils, nor doth he tempt any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away. ¹⁵ And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.

¹ What shall we then say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? ² Far be it: for if we are persons that have died to sin, how can we again live in it? ³ Or do ye not know, that we who are baptized into Jesus Messiah, are baptized into his death? ⁴ For we are buried with him in baptism unto death; that as Jesus Messiah arose from the dead into the glory of his Father, so also we, to walk in a new life. ⁵ For if we have been planted together with him into the likeness of his death, so shall we be also into his resurrection. ⁶ For we know, that our old man is crucified with him; that the body of sin might be abolished, and we be no more servants to sin: ⁷ for he that is dead to it, is emancipated from sin. ⁸ If then we are dead with Messiah, let us believe that we shall live with the same Messiah. ⁹ For we know that Messiah rose from the dead, and no more dieth; death hath no dominion over him. ¹⁰ For in dying, he died for sin, once; and in living, he liveth unto God. ¹¹ So also do ye account yourselves as being dead to sin, and alive to God, through our Lord Jesus Messiah. ¹² Therefore let not sin reign in your dead body, so that ye obey its lusts. ¹³ And also give not up your members as instruments of evil unto sin, but give up yourselves to God, as those who have been resuscitated from the dead; and let your members be instruments for the righteousness of God. ¹⁴ And sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ¹⁵ What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? Far be it. ¹⁶ Know ye not, that to whomsoever ye give up yourselves to serve in bondage, his servants ye are, whom ye serve; whether it be to sin, or whether it be to righteousness, that ye give ear? ¹⁷ But thanks be to God, that ye were once the servants of sin but have now from the heart obeyed that form of doctrine to which ye are devoted. ¹⁸ And when ye were emancipated from sin, ye became servants to righteousness. ¹⁹ -(I speak as among men, because of the infirmity of your flesh.)-As ye once gave up your members to the servitude of pollution and iniquity, so also now give ye up your members to the servitude of righteousness and sanctity. ²⁰ For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were emancipated from righteousness. ²¹ And what harvest had ye then, in that of which ye are now ashamed? For the result thereof is death. ²² And now, as ye have been emancipated from sin, and have become servants to God, your fruits are holy; and the result thereof is life everlasting. ²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is life eternal, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹ If I could speak in every tongue of men, and in that of angels, and there should be no love in me, I should be like brass that resoundeth, or the cymbal that maketh a noise. ² And if there should be in me the gift of prophecy, and I should understand all the mysteries, and every science; and if there should be in me all faith, so that I could move mountains, and love should not be in me, I should be nothing. ³ And if I should feed out to the destitute all I possess; and if I should give my body to be burned; and there should be no love in me, I gain nothing. ⁴ Love is long-suffering, and is kind; love is not envious; love is not boisterous; and is not inflated; ⁵ and doth nothing that causeth shame; and seeketh not her own; is not passionate; and thinketh no evil; ⁶ rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; ⁷ beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all, and endureth all. ⁸ Love will never cease. But prophesyings will end; and tongues will be silent; and knowledge will vanish. ⁹ For we know but partially; and we prophesy but partially. ¹⁰ But when completeness shall come, then that which is partial will vanish away. ¹¹ When I was a child, I talked as a child, and I reasoned as a child, and I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I laid aside the things of childhood. ¹² And now we see, as by a mirror, in similitude; but then face to face: now I know partially; but then shall I know, just as I am known. ¹³ For these three things are abiding, faith, and hope, and love; but the greatest of these is love.

⁸ And owe nothing to any one; but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbor, hath fulfilled the law. ⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ¹⁰ Love doeth no evil to one's neighbor; because love is the fulfillment of the law.

¹⁶ All scripture that was written by the Spirit, is profitable for instruction, and for confutation, and for correction, and for erudition in righteousness; ¹⁷ that the man of God may become perfect, and complete for every good work.

⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.
