1 John 4:5

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

He said, “Watch out that you don’t get led astray, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore don’t follow them.

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.

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.” Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.

It is because of the sins of her prophets and the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the middle of her.

Jesus answered them, “Be careful that no one leads you astray.

He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

for the words which you have given me I have given to them, and they received them, and knew for sure that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
