I keep

Every man that proveth masteries abstaineth from all things. And they do it to obtain a corruptible crown: but we to obtain an uncorruptible crown.

Even unto this day we hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted with fists, and have no certain dwelling place,

All things are lawful unto me: but all things are not profitable. I may do all things: but I will be brought under no man's power.

Wherefore if meat hurt my brother, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, because I will not hurt my brother.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. But if ye mortify the deeds of the body, by the help of the spirit, ye shall live,

but in all things let us behave ourselves as the ministers of God. In much patience, in afflictions, in necessity, in anguish,

in labour and travail, in watching often, in hunger, in thirst, in fastings often, in cold and in nakedness.

Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth; fornication, uncleanness, unnatural lust, evil concupiscence, and covetousness which is worshipping of idols:

Lusts of youth avoid, and follow righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers, and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which fight against the soul,

And

Ye are then made free from sin, and are become the servants of righteousness.

Lest

Though I spake with the tongues of men and angels, and yet had no love, I were even as sounding brass: or as a tinkling cymbal.

But unto the ungodly sayeth God, "Why dost thou preach my laws, and takest my covenant in thy mouth,

"Not all they that say unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter in to the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth my father's will which is in heaven.

But and if the evil servant shall say in his heart, 'My master will defer his coming,' and shall begin to smite the servants, and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken:

Then shall ye begin to say, 'We have eaten, and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.'

and have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, which loved the reward of unrighteousness:

A castaway

Therefore shall they be called reprobate silver, because the LORD hath cast them out."

For what shall it advantage a man, to win the whole world, if he lose himself: or run in damage of himself?

that the one may take the room of this ministration, and apostleship from the which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."

Prove yourselves whether ye are in the faith or not. Examine your own selves: know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be castaways?
