'Against' in the Bible

What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God is for us, who is against us?

meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood.

Beloved, I call upon you, as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,

having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection.

having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are traducing your good behaviour in Christ;
