1 Corinthians 8:11

You observe days, months, seasons, and years.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the assembly. If he refuses to hear the assembly also, let him be to you as a Gentile or a tax collector.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

But as you abound in everything, in faith, utterance, knowledge, all earnestness, and in your love to us, see that you also abound in this grace.

you being enriched in everything to all generosity, which produces thanksgiving to God through us.

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

To show partiality is not good; yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.

“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?

Yet if because of food your brother is grieved, you walk no longer in love. Don’t destroy with your food him for whom Christ died.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

But those who are outside, God judges. “Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.”

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling fragrance.

If anyone comes to you, and doesn’t bring this teaching, don’t receive him into your house, and don’t welcome him,

He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.

Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.

He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”

Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.

Give no occasion for stumbling, whether to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

Let all that you do be done in love.

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don’t burn with indignation?

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love. Amen.

Abstain from every form of evil.

not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

We love him, because he first loved us.

But I have this against you, that you tolerate your woman, Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. She teaches and seduces my servants to commit sexual immorality, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

“You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”

In the prophets of Jerusalem I have also seen a horrible thing: they commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one returns from his wickedness. They have all become to me as Sodom, and its inhabitants as Gomorrah.”

They say continually to those who despise me, ‘Yahweh has said, “You will have peace;” ’ and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, ‘No evil will come on you.’

Because with lies you have grieved the heart of the righteous, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, and be saved alive.

In you have they taken bribes to shed blood. You have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me,” says the Lord Yahweh.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets within it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made many widows within it.

Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hidden their eyes from my Sabbaths. So I am profaned among them.

But because he couldn’t pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.

He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no occasions of stumbling should come, but woe to him through whom they come!

“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from God.

Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Now accept one who is weak in faith, but not for disputes over opinions.

Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.

Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn’t judge himself in that which he approves.

Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles, that one has his father’s wife.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Therefore if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forever more, that I don’t cause my brother to stumble.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit;

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

There is no creature that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him to whom we must give an account.

Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus,

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people’s bodies and souls.

Aren’t we considered as foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and has also used up our money.

after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him;

I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.

It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins. Also they have power over our bodies and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

The elder and the honorable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.

who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

Don’t trust in lying words, saying, ‘Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, Yahweh’s temple, are these.’

You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’

But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”

Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.”

Then the maid who kept the door said to Peter, “Are you also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”

Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge;
