Bible verses about "disrespect" | WPNT

⁴² So the Lord said: “Who then is the faithful and prudent steward whom his master will place over his household to give them the food allowance at the right time? ⁴³ Blessed is that slave whom his master will find so doing when he comes. ⁴⁴ I tell you truly that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. ⁴⁵ But if that servant should say in his heart, ‘My master won’t come for a while’, and should begin to hit the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk, ⁴⁶ the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.

¹ James, a slave of God and of Sovereign Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes that are in the Dispersion: Greetings. ² Count it all joy, my brothers, whenever you fall into various trials, ³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance; ⁴ but let that endurance have a complete work, so that you may be perfect and complete, falling short in nothing. ⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from the giving God, who gives to all liberally and does not reproach, and it will be given to him. ⁶ However, let him ask in faith, with no doubting, because he who doubts is like a sea wave driven and tossed by the wind— ⁷ such a man should not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord, ⁸ being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. ⁹ Now the lowly brother should glory in his high position, ¹⁰ but the rich brother in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of wild grass. ¹¹ For the sun rises with its burning heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off and the beauty of its face perishes. Just so the rich man will be withered in his undertakings. ¹² A man who endures testing is blessed, because upon becoming approved he will receive the crown of the life that the Lord has promised to those loving Him. ¹³ Let no one, upon being tempted, say, “I am being tempted by God,” because God is untemptable by evil, so He Himself does not tempt anyone. ¹⁴ But each one is tempted by his own craving, being taken in tow and enticed. ¹⁵ Then the craving, upon conceiving, gives birth to sin, and the sin, upon completion, delivers death. ¹⁶ Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers: ¹⁷ every good giving and every perfect gift is from Above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. ¹⁸ Having willed it, He brought us forth by a word of truth, so that we might be a sort of first fruits of His products. ¹⁹ So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; ²⁰ because a man’s anger does not achieve God’s righteousness. ²¹ Therefore, laying aside all filthiness and overflow of evil, receive with meekness the implanted Word which is able to save your souls. ²² Further, become word doers and not just hearers, deceiving yourselves. ²³ Because if anyone is a law hearer and not a doer, the same is like a man observing his physical face in a mirror; ²⁴ for he observes himself, then goes away and promptly forgets what he’s like. ²⁵ But he who looks carefully into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, he—not being a forgetful hearer but a work doer—he will be blessed in what he does. ²⁶ If anyone among you thinks he is religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his heart, his religion is useless. ²⁷ Pure and undefiled religion before God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their adversity; to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him: “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only shall you serve’.”

¹ My dear children, I am writing these things to you so that you not sin; if someone does sin, we have an Advocate in the Father’s presence, righteous Jesus Christ— ² also, He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; not concerning ours only but also concerning those of the whole world. ³ Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. ⁴ He who says, “I have come to know Him”, yet doesn’t keep His commandments, is a liar and the Truth is not in him. ⁵ But whoever keeps His Word, God’s love has truly been perfected in him: by this we know that we are in Him. ⁶ He who claims to be abiding in Him really needs to act just like He acted. ⁷ Brothers, I am not writing a new commandment to you but an old one that you have had from the beginning; this old commandment is the word that you have heard from the beginning. ⁸ Again, I am writing a new commandment to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining. ⁹ He who claims to be in the Light while hating his brother is in the darkness until now. ¹⁰ He who keeps loving his brother is staying in the Light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him. ¹¹ But he who keeps hating his brother is in the darkness and keeps walking in the darkness; he doesn’t know where he’s going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. ¹² Dear children, I am writing to you because your sins have been forgiven for His name’s sake ¹³ —fathers, I am writing to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I am writing to you because you have overcome the evil one; children, I am writing to you because you have come to know the Father— ¹⁴ fathers, I have written to you because you have come to know Him who is from the beginning; young men, I have written to you because you are strong, and the Word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Do not love the world, neither the things in the world; if anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. ¹⁶ Because everything in the world—the craving of the flesh and the craving of the eyes and the pretension of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. ¹⁷ The world, with its craving, is passing away, but he who does God’s will remains forever. ¹⁸ Children, it is the last hour, and just as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared, by which we know that it is the last hour. ¹⁹ They went out from us but were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us—they left so that they might be exposed, that none of them were of us. ²⁰ You have an Anointing from the Holy One and understand all. ²¹ I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie is of the Truth. ²² Who is the liar but the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son. ²³ Whoever denies the Son doesn’t have the Father either. ²⁴ So you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you; if what you have heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Father and in the Son. ²⁵ This is the promise that He Himself promised us—the eternal life. ²⁶ I have written these things to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you; ²⁷ but really, you don’t need anyone to teach you because the Anointing that you received from Him abides in you; further, as the same Anointing teaches you concerning all things, and it is true and no lie—well just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. ²⁸ And now, dear children, do abide in Him, so that whenever He appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. ²⁹ If you have understood that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been begotten by Him.
