—LUKE 15:28-30  ²⁸But he was angry, and would not go in: and his father came out, and entreated him. ²⁹But he answered and said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: ³⁰but when this thy son came, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou killedst for him the fatted calf.

—PHILIPPIANS 1:15  ¹⁵Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

JOKING

—ECCLESIASTES 9:7-9  ⁷Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works. ⁸Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil. ⁹Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.

JUDGMENT

—ECCLESIASTES 12:13-14  ¹³This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. ¹⁴For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

—EZEKIEL 3:17-21.. ¹⁷Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. ¹⁸When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the Same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. ¹⁹Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. ²⁰Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand. ²¹Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.

—EZEKIEL 18:20  ²⁰The soul that sinneth, it shall die: the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

—MATTHEW 3:12  ¹²whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

—MATTHEW 7:1-5. ¹Judge not, that ye be not judged. ²For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. ³And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye; and lo, the beam is in thine own eye? ⁵Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

—LUKE 5:31  ³¹And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are in health have no need of a physician; but they that are sick. ³²I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.

—LUKE 6:41-42. ⁴¹And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴²Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.

—LUKE 10:10-12. ¹⁰But into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they receive you not, go out into the streets thereof and say, ¹¹Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, we wipe off against you: nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh. ¹²I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.

—JOHN 5:22-30  ²²For neither doth the Father judge any man, but he hath given all judgment unto the Son; ²³that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. he that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father that sent him. ²⁴Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. ²⁵Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour cometh, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear shall live. ²⁶For as the Father hath life in himself, even so gave he to the Son also to have life in himself: ²⁷and he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. ²⁸Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, ²⁹and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment.  ³⁰I can of myself do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

—JOHN 12:48  ⁴⁸he that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the Same shall judge him in the last day.

—ACTS 4:19  ¹⁹But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:

—ACTS 17:30-31  ³⁰The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now he commandeth men that they should all everywhere repent: ³¹inasmuch as he hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

—ACTS 20:31  ³¹Wherefore watch ye, remembering that by the space of three years I ceased not to admonish every one night and day with tears.

—ROMANS 2:1-4. ¹Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the Same things. ²And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things. ³And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the Same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? ⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

—ROMANS 2:16  ¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

—ROMANS 6:23  ²³For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

—ROMANS 11:22 ²²Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

—ROMANS 14:1-4 ¹But him that is weak in faith receive ye, yet not for decision of scruples. ²One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. ³Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. ⁴Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand.

—ROMANS 14:10 ⁰But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God.

—1 CORINTHIANS 4:3-5  ³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. ⁴For I know nothing against myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. ⁵Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.

—1 CORINTHIANS 5:11-13  ¹¹but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. ¹²For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? ¹³But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.

—1 CORINTHIANS 11:13  ¹³Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled?

—1 CORINTHIANS 11:29. ²⁹For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body.

—2 CORINTHIANS 5:10  ¹⁰For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

—GALATIANS 2:11  ¹¹But when Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him to the face, because he stood condemned.

—1 TIMOTHY 5:19-20  ¹⁹Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at the mouth of two or three witnesses. ²⁰Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

—2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5  ¹I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: ²preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. ³For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; ⁴and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables. ⁵But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

—TITUS 1:10-16  ¹⁰For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, ¹¹whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake. ¹²One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. ¹³This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, ¹⁴not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. ¹⁵To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. ¹⁶They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

—TITUS 2:15  ¹⁵These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

—GALATIANS 6:1-5  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. ²Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. ³For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. ⁴But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor. ⁵For each man shall bear his own burden.

—HEBREWS 4:12  ¹²For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

—HEBREWS 9:27  ²⁷And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment;

—HEBREWS 10:26-31  ²⁶For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, ²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. ²⁸A man that hath set at nought Moses law dieth without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses: ²⁹of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? ³⁰For we know him that said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. ³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

— JAMES 5:11-12  ¹¹Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.  ¹²But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

—1 PETER 4:5  ⁵who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.

JUSTICE

—GENESIS 9:6  ⁶Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

—ECCLESIASTES 8:11  ¹¹Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

—NEHEMIAH 9:32-37 ³²Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and lovingkindness, let not all the travail seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. ³³Howbeit thou art just in all that is come upon us; for thou hast dealt truly, but we have done wickedly; ³⁴neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies wherewith thou didst testify against them. ³⁵For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. ³⁶Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it. ³⁷And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. ³⁸And yet for all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal unto it.

—MATTHEW 2:17-18 ¹⁷Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ¹⁸A voice was heard in Ramah, Weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not. "

—LUKE 18:7. ⁷And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?

JUSTIFICATION

—See RECONCILIATION

—See REDEMPTION

—MATTHEW 25:34  ³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

—ACTS 13:39  ³⁹and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

— ROMANS 3:24  ²⁴being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

—ROMANS 5:1  ¹Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

—ROMANS 5:9-11  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; ¹¹and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

—ROMANS 6:7  ⁷for he that hath died is justified from sin.

—ROMANS 10:10  ¹⁰for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

—MATTHEW 18:1-4  ¹In that hour came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ²And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, ³and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. ⁴Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

—HOSEA 4:1-10  ¹Hear the word of Jehovah, ye children of Israel; for Jehovah hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor goodness, nor knowledge of God in the land. ²There is nought but swearing and breaking faith, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery; they break out, and blood toucheth blood. ³Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. ⁴Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove; for thy people are as they that strive with the priest. ⁵And thou shalt stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with thee in the night; and I will destroy thy mother.  ⁶My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children. ⁷As they were multiplied, so they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame. ⁸They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity. ⁹And it shall be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will requite them their doings. ¹⁰And they shall eat, and not have enough; they shall play the harlot, and shall not increase; because they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

—LUKE 11:52  ⁵²Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

—JOHN 8:31-32  ³¹Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; ³²and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

—JOHN 17:3  ³And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

—ACTS 2:36  ³⁶Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

—ROMANS 2:20  ²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

—ROMANS 10:2-3  ²For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. ³For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

—ROMANS 15:14  ¹⁴And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

—1 CORINTHIANS 8:1-3  ¹Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth. ²If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know; ³but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him.

—1 CORINTHIANS 13:12. ¹²For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.

—2 CORINTHIANS 2:14-15  ¹⁴But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. ¹⁵For we are a sweet savor of Christ unto God, in them that are saved, and in them that perish;

—EPHESIANS 6:4. ⁴And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

—PHILIPPIANS 1:9  ⁹And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

—PHILIPPIANS 3:8-11  ⁸Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ, ⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, even that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith: ¹⁰that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death; ¹¹if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead..

—EXODUS 12:21-23  ²¹Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover. ²²And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. ²³For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

LAWSUITS

—1 CORINTHIANS 6:1-8  ¹Dare any of you, having a matter against his neighbor, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? ²Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? ³Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more, things that pertain to this life? ⁴If then ye have to judge things pertaining to this life, do ye set them to judge who are of no account in the church? ⁵I say this to move you to shame. What, cannot there be found among you one wise man who shall be able to decide between his brethren, ⁶but brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers? ⁷Nay, already it is altogether a defect in you, that ye have lawsuits one with another. Why not rather take wrong? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸Nay, but ye yourselves do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

—1 CORINTHIANS 9:20-21  ²⁰And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, not being myself under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; ²¹to them that are without law, as without law, not being without law to God, but under law to Christ, that I might gain them that are without law.

—GALATIANS 6:2  ²Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

—JAMES 2:10-12  ¹⁰For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of all. ¹¹For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commit adultery, but killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. ¹²So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.

And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.  ⁸And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.

—1 PETER 2:21-25  ²¹For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: ²²who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: ²³who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: ²⁴who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. ²⁵For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

—1 PETER 5:1-5  ¹The elders among you I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, who am also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: ²Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; ³neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock. ⁴And when the chief Shepherd shall be manifested, ye shall receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. ⁵Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder.

And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. ⁷And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee. ⁸And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.  ⁹And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? ¹⁰And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword: and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. ¹¹And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before Jehovah; but Jehovah was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but Jehovah was not in the earthquake: ¹²and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. ¹³And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah? ¹⁴And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.  ¹⁵And Jehovah said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria; ¹⁶and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. ¹⁷And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth from the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. ¹⁸Yet will I leave me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.

In this I praise you not. ²³For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread; ²⁴and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. ²⁵In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. ²⁶For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord’s death till he come. ²⁷Wherefore whosoever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. ²⁸But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. ²⁹For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. ³⁰For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. ³¹But if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. ³²But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world. ³³Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, wait one for another. ³⁴If any man is hungry, let him eat at home; that your coming together be not unto judgment. And the rest will I set in order whensoever I come.

—JUDE 1:12  ¹²These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

LOVE

—MATTHEW 22:36-40  ³⁶Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? ³⁷And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸This is the great and first commandment. ³⁹And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets.

—1 JOHN 5:3  ³For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
