For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

They scoff and speak with malice. In arrogance, they threaten oppression.

but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;

Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

Do all things without complaining and arguing,

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good,

and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing and say, “Sit here in a good place;” and you tell the poor man, “Stand there,” or “Sit by my footstool”

They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”

Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.

He doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respect the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

in whose eyes a vile man is despised, but who honors those who fear Yahweh; he who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and doesn’t change;

They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.

but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.

“I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

“I watched at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I watched even until the animal was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

When they received it, they murmured against the master of the household,

For this might have been sold for more than three hundred denarii, and given to the poor.” So they grumbled against her.

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, “This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them.”

When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,

Therefore don’t let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

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.

For I am afraid that by any means, when I come, I might find you not the way I want to, and that I might be found by you as you don’t desire, that by any means there would be strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, whisperings, proud thoughts, or riots,

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,

constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

For some of these are people who creep into houses and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.
