John 9:41

A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

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

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

“But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, should he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has done will be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he shall die.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

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

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

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

But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.

Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.

Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.

When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.

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

There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

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 I say through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.

and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

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?

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those who sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I don’t say that he should make a request concerning this.

“ ‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

If one man sins against another, God will judge him; but if a man sins against Yahweh, who will intercede for him?” Notwithstanding, they didn’t listen to the voice of their father, because Yahweh intended to kill them.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

For you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’

“Therefore I will yet contend with you,” says Yahweh, “and I will contend with your children’s children.

“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.’

“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.

I will spread my net on him, and he will be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he has trespassed against me.

those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven’t sought Yahweh nor inquired after him.

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.

Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

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

He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

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.”

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

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

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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.

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.

The elder, to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not I only, but also all those who know the truth,

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,

The man who does presumptuously in not listening to the priest who stands to minister there before Yahweh your God, or to the judge, even that man shall die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.

Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

‘Hear this now, foolish people without understanding, who have eyes, and don’t see, who have ears, and don’t hear:

“Son of man, you dwell in the middle of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see, and don’t see, who have ears to hear, and don’t hear; for they are a rebellious house.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

John answered, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven.

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.”

him, being delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by the hand of lawless men, crucified and killed;

to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.

Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as Yahweh’s servant?
