GENEROSITY

—See GIVING

–PSALM 112:5-9  ⁵Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; he shall maintain his cause in judgment.  ⁶For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance.  ⁷he shall not be afraid of evil tidings:  His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah.  ⁸His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries.  ⁹he hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever:  His horn shall be exalted with honor.

—PROVERBS 28:27  He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack; But he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.

—ECCLESIASTES 11:1. ¹Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.

—ACTS 11:29-30  ²⁹And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judea: ³⁰which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.

—1 CORINTHIANS 13:3  ³And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

GENTLENESS

—See MAGNANIMITY

—See PATIENCE

—PROVERBS 15:1  ¹A soft answer turneth away wrath; But a grievous word stirreth up anger.  ²The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.  ³The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.  ⁴A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.

—GALATIANS 6:1  ¹Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

GHOSTS

—ECCLESIASTES 9:5-6  ⁵For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. ⁶As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.

—MALACHI 3:7-12. ⁷From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return? ⁸Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹Ye are cursed with the curse; for ye rob me, even this whole nation. ¹⁰Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. ¹¹And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. ¹²And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.

—MATTHEW 6:19-34  ¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also. ²²The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. ²³But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! ²⁴No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. ²⁵Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? ²⁶Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they? ²⁷And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? ²⁸And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: ²⁹yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰But if God doth so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? ³¹Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ³²For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. ³³But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ³⁴Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

—MATTHEW 25:35-45  ³⁵for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; ³⁶naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. ³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? ³⁸And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? ⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. ⁴¹Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: ⁴²for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; ⁴³I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. ⁴⁴Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? ⁴⁵Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me.

—LUKE 6:38  ³⁸give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.

—ACTS 20:35  ³⁵In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

—1 CORINTHIANS 9:7. ⁷Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

—1 CORINTHIANS 16:1-3. ¹Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. ²Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. ³And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

—2 CORINTHIANS 8:1-5  ¹Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia; ²how that in much proof of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. ³For according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power, they gave of their own accord, ⁴beseeching us with much entreaty in regard of this grace and the fellowship in the ministering to the saints: ⁵and this, not as we had hoped, but first they gave their own selves to the Lord, and to us through the will of God.

—2 CORINTHIANS 9:1-15  ¹For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: ²for I know your readiness, of which I glory on your behalf to them of Macedonia, that Achaia hath been prepared for a year past; and your zeal hath stirred up very many of them. ³But I have sent the brethren, that our glorying on your behalf may not be made void in this respect; that, even as I said, ye may be prepared: ⁴lest by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be put to shame in this confidence. ⁵I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.  ⁶But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. ⁷Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: ⁹as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.  ¹⁰And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: ¹¹ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. ¹²For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; ¹³seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all; ¹⁴while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you. ¹⁵Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.

—1 JOHN 3:16-18  ¹⁶Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷But whoso hath the world’s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? ¹⁸My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

GLOATING

—PSALM 40:14-15  ¹⁴Let them be put to shame and confounded together That seek after my soul to destroy it:  Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.  ¹⁵Let them be desolate by reason of their shame That say unto me, Aha, aha.

—2 TIMOTHY 4:7-8  ⁷I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: ⁸henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

—PSALM 141:3  ³Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.

—PROVERBS 10:19-21  ¹⁹In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.  ²⁰The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver:  The heart of the wicked is little worth.  ²¹The lips of the righteous feed many; But the foolish die for lack of understanding.

—PROVERBS 11:9 ⁹With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered.

—PROVERBS 11:13  ¹³he that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.

—PROVERBS 15:14  ¹⁴The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge; But the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.

—PROVERBS 25:9  ⁹Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself, And disclose not the secret of another; ¹⁰Lest he that heareth it revile thee, And thine infamy turn not away.

—PROVERBS 26:20-28  ²⁰For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.  ²¹As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.  ²²The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.  ²³Fervent lips and a wicked heart Are like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.  ²⁴he that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him:  ²⁵When he speaketh fair, believe him not; For there are seven abominations in his heart:  ²⁶Though his hatred cover itself with guile, His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly.  ²⁷Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein; And he that rolleth a stone, it shall return upon him.  ²⁸A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.

—JAMES 3:6-12  ⁶And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. ⁷For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind. ⁸But the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. ⁹Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: ¹⁰out of the Same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. ¹¹Doth the fountain send forth from the Same opening sweet water and bitter? ¹²Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither can salt water yield sweet.

—JAMES 4:11-12  ¹¹Speak not one against another, brethren. he that speaketh against a brother, or judgeth his brother, speaketh against the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judgest the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. ¹²One only is the lawgiver and judge, even he who is able to save and to destroy: but who art thou that judgest thy neighbor?

GOVERNMENT

—PROVERBS 8:15  ¹⁵By me kings reign, And rulers decree justice.

—DANIEL 6:4  ⁴Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

—ROMANS 13:1-7  ¹Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God. ²Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. ³For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the Same: ⁴for he is a minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. ⁵Wherefore ye must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. ⁶For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. ⁷Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

—1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2  ¹I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; ²for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

—1 PETER 2:13-17  ¹³Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; ¹⁴or unto governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evil-doers and for praise to them that do well. ¹⁵For so is the will of God, that by well-doing ye should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: ¹⁶as free, and not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God. ¹⁷Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

GRACE

—PSALM 32:1-5  ¹Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered.  ²Blessed is the man unto whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no guile.  ³When I kept silence, my bones wasted away Through my groaning all the day long.  ⁴For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:  My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer.  ⁵I acknowledged my sin unto thee, And mine iniquity did I not hide:  I said, I will confess my transgressions unto Jehovah; And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

—PSALM 51:1-17  ¹Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:  According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.  ²Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.  ³For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me.  ⁴Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest.  ⁵Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.  ⁶Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.  ⁷Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:  Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.  ⁸Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.  ⁹Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.  ¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me.  ¹¹Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy spirit from me.  ¹²Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit.  ¹³Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto thee.  ¹⁴Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation; And my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.  ¹⁵O Lord, open thou my lips; And my mouth shall show forth thy praise.  ¹⁶For thou delightest not in sacrifice; Else would I give it:  Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.  ¹⁷The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:  A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

—MATTHEW 11:11  ¹¹Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptist: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

—ROMANS 3:21-26. ²¹But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; ²²even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction; ²³for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; ²⁴being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: ²⁵whom God set forth to be a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; ²⁶for the showing, I say, of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.

—ROMANS 5:8-10 ⁸But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. ¹⁰For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life;

—ROMANS 5:20-21  ²⁰And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly: ²¹that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

—ROMANS 6:22-23 ²²But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life. ²³For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

—2 CORINTHIANS 12:9  ⁹And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness.

—EPHESIANS 2:8-10  ⁸for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; ⁹not of works, that no man should glory. ¹⁰For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.

—COLOSSIANS 2:13-14. ¹³And you, being dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you, I say, did he make alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses; ¹⁴having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;

—2 TIMOTHY 1:9-10 ⁹who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, ¹⁰but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

—DEUTERONOMY 22:6-7. ⁶If a bird’s nest chance to be before thee in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: ⁷thou shalt surely let the dam go, but the young thou mayest take unto thyself; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days.

—DEUTERONOMY 23:19-20. ¹⁹Thou shalt not lend upon interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of victuals, interest of anything that is lent upon interest: ²⁰unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon interest; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon interest, that Jehovah thy God may bless thee in all that thou puttest thy hand unto, in the land whither thou goest in to possess it.

—2 KINGS 5:22. ²²And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

—ECCLESIASTES 6:2. ²a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

—MALACHI 3:7-12. ⁷From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return? ⁸Will a man rob God? yet ye rob me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. ⁹Ye are cursed with the curse; for ye rob me, even this whole nation. ¹⁰Bring ye the whole tithe into the store-house, that there may be food in my house, and prove me now herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. ¹¹And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. ¹²And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts.

—1 TIMOTHY 6:5-10  ⁵wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. ⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain: ⁷for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; ⁸but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. ⁹But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. ¹⁰For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

—JAMES 5:1-6  ¹Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. ²Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. ³Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days. ⁴Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. ⁵Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. ⁶Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.

—MARK 4:26-32 ²⁶And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; ²⁷and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how. ²⁸The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. ²⁹But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because the harvest is come. ³⁰And he said, How shall we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable shall we set it forth? ³¹It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, ³²yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof.

—ACTS 17:11-12  ¹¹Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so. ¹²Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.

—EPHESIANS 4:11-16  ¹¹And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; ¹²for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: ¹³till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: ¹⁴that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; ¹⁵but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ; ¹⁶from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

—EPHESIANS 4:25-32  ²⁵Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. ²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: ²⁷neither give place to the devil. ²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need. ²⁹Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear. ³⁰And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption. ³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: ³²and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

—HEBREWS 5:12-14  ¹²For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. ¹³For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. ¹⁴But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

—HEBREWS 6:1-2  ¹Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, ²of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

—1 PETER 2:2  ²as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. ²¹But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. ²²If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³he that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
