1 John 2:9

To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?

“If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

I said, “Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn’t it for you to know justice?

Jesus therefore said to them, “Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness doesn’t overtake you. He who walks in the darkness doesn’t know where he is going.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.

“ ‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

who forsake the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness,

Be careful. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.

But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.”

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.”

You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected. Be comforted. Be of the same mind. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word,

They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness—and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

“Yet you said, ‘I am innocent. Surely his anger has turned away from me.’ “Behold, I will judge you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’

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.

Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing.

Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren’t tempted.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.

One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

“ ‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth.

He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love.

“But if you do at all go back, and hold fast to the remnant of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
