For every one that doeth evil hateth the
light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he
that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God. - John 3:20-21

thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou
judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same
things.

we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which
commit such things.
3 And
thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest
the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
1

together not for the better, but for the worse.

every one night and day with tears.

not fainted.

honesty.

Chapter 13
4
Marriage is
honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God
will judge.
7Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the
word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
17
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief: for that is
unprofitable for you.
22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have
written a letter unto you in few words.
24 Salute all them that have the rule
over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

seven are an
abomination unto him:

deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness
that speaketh lies, and he that
soweth discord among brethren.

you, let him be your minister;

servant:

be among you: but whosoever will be great among
you, shall be your minister:

servant of all.

but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is
chief, as he that doth serve.

greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat?
but I am among you as he that serveth.

11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your
servant.
12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and
he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to
the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their

shall feed them: and they shall fear no
more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ

Christ.

we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than
that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
accursed.

midst of the paradise of God.

hate.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with
the sword of my mouth.

behold, I
am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words
every one from his neighbour.

I
am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and
say, He saith.
32Behold,
I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do
tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness;
yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this
people at all, saith the LORD.

13For the
people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of
hosts.
14Therefore
the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15The
ancient and honourable, he
is the head; and the prophet that teacheth
lies, he
is the tail.
16For
the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are
led of them are destroyed. 17Therefore
the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on
their fatherless and widows: for every one
is an hypocrite and an
evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned
away, but his hand
is stretched out still.

13:10
“Because,
even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was
no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:”
