Galatians 2:13

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life.

One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.

Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship do righteousness and iniquity have? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?

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

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, far off or near;

Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison;

Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

Brothers, don’t be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

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.

But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

“If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;

What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

Let’s fear therefore, lest perhaps anyone of you should seem to have come short of a promise of entering into his rest.

but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’

They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see.

Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

for God’s Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

Let no one deceive you with empty words. For because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

For they themselves report concerning us what kind of a reception we had from you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men?

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may keep the commandments of my God.

Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.

to deliver you from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things,

Don’t enter into the path of the wicked. Don’t walk in the way of evil men.

Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

As they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they compelled him to go with them, that he might carry his cross.

It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.

But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.

He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks. He who doesn’t eat, to the Lord he doesn’t eat, and gives God thanks.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

You are arrogant, and didn’t mourn instead, that he who had done this deed might be removed from among you.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Some of you were such, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

Or have only Barnabas and I no right to not work?

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

They are like a palm tree, of turned work, and don’t speak. They must be carried, because they can’t move. Don’t be afraid of them; for they can’t do evil, neither is it in them to do good.”

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor’s good.

Don’t be deceived! “Evil companionships corrupt good morals.”

But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

He said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.”

Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn’t I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father’s presence, so I will be in your presence.”

Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to produce an evil odor; so does a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.

Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.

looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it,

Don’t be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
