Bible verses about "flirting" | Murdock

²⁴ For this cause, God gave them up to the filthy lusts of their heart, to dishonor their bodies with them. ²⁵ And they changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, for ever and ever: Amen. ²⁶ For this cause, God gave them up to vile passions: for their females changed the use of their natures, and employed that which is unnatural. ²⁷ And so also their males forsook the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in themselves the just recompense of their error. ²⁸ And as they did not determine with themselves to know God, God gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they ought not, ²⁹ being full of all iniquity, and lewdness, and bitterness, and malice, and covetousness, and envy, and slaughter, and strife, and guile, and evil machinations, ³⁰ and backbiting, and slander; and being haters of God, scoffers, proud, vain-glorious, devisers of evil things, destitute of reason, disregardful of parents, ³¹ and to whom a covenant is nothing, neither affection, nor peace, and in whom is no compassion. ³² These, while they know the judgment of God, that he condemneth those to death who perpetrate such things, are not only doers of them, but the companions of such as do them.

¹² But these, like the dumb beasts that by nature are for slaughter and corruption, while reviling the things they know not, will perish in their own corruption; ¹³ they being persons with whom iniquity is the reward of iniquity, and by them rioting in the daytime is accounted delightful; defiled and full of spots are they, indulging themselves at their ease, while they give themselves up to pleasure; ¹⁴ having eyes that are full of adultery, and sins that never end; seducing unstable souls; and having a heart exercised in cupidity; children of malediction:

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous. ² For he is himself the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for all the world. ³ And by this we shall be sensible that we know him, if we keep his commandments. ⁴ For he that saith, I know him, and doth not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ⁵ But he that keepeth his word, in him is the love of God truly completed: for by this we know that we are in him. ⁶ He that saith, I am in him, is bound to walk according to his walkings. ⁷ My beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but the old commandment which ye had from the beginning; and the old commandment is the word, which ye have heard. ⁸ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness hath passed away, and the true light beginneth to appear. ⁹ Whoever therefore shall say that he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness until now. ¹⁰ He that loveth his brother, abideth in the light, and in him is no stumbling. ¹¹ But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness; and he knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. ¹² I write to you, ye children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. ¹³ I write to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who existed from the beginning. I write to you, ye young men, because ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁴ I have written to you, ye little ones, because ye have known the Father. I have written to you, ye fathers, because ye have known him who was from the beginning, I have written to you, ye young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God dwelleth in you, and ye have vanquished the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself. ¹⁷ And the world is passing away, both it and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the pleasure of God, abideth for ever. ¹⁸ My children, it is the latter time; and as ye have heard that a false Messiah was to arise, so there are now many false Messiahs; and from this we know that it is the latter time. ¹⁹ From us they went out, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out from us, that so it might be known, that they were not of us. ²⁰ But ye have an unction from the Holy One; and ye discriminate every person. ²¹ I have not written to you, because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and because no falsehood is of the truth. ²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son. ²³ And he that denieth the Son, also believeth not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, confesseth also the Father. ²⁴ And what ye heard from the first, let that remain with you. For if that, which ye heard from the first, remaineth with you, ye also will remain in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal. ²⁶ And these things I have written to you, on account of those who seduce you. ²⁷ And ye also, if the unction which ye have received from him remaineth in you, need not that any one should teach you; but as that unction is from God, it teacheth you all things; and it is true, and no falsehood is in it. And as it hath taught you, remain ye in him. ²⁸ And now, my children, remain ye in him; that so, when he shall be manifested, we may not be ashamed before him, but may have an open countenance at his coming. ²⁹ If ye know that he is righteous, ye also know, that whoever doeth righteousness, is from him.

⁸ Finally, my brethren, what things are true, and what things are decorous, and what things are right, and what things are pure, and what things are lovely, and what things are commendable, and deeds of praise and approbation, on these be your thoughts.

¹¹ For the all-vivifying grace of God, is revealed to all men; ¹² and it teacheth us, to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and to live in this world in sobriety, and in uprightness, and in the fear of God,

²⁸ But I say to you, That whoever gazeth on a woman with concupiscence, at once committeth adultery with her in his heart.
