Because

I have confidence in the Lord you will not accept any other view. But whoever it is that is confusing you will pay the penalty.

Some men came down from Judea and began to teach the brothers: “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom prescribed by Moses, you cannot be saved!”

And men will rise up from your own number with deviant doctrines to lure the disciples into following them.

For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Unawares

For among them are those who worm their way into households and capture idle women burdened down with sins, led along by a variety of passions,

But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves.

For some men, who were designated for this judgment long ago, have come in by stealth; they are ungodly, turning the grace of our God into promiscuity and denying Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.

Liberty

Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.

Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

Restore the joy of Your salvation to me,
and give me a willing spirit.

I will walk freely in an open place
because I seek Your precepts.

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word,

you really are My disciples.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

As God’s slaves, live as free people, but don’t use your freedom as a way to conceal evil.

They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, since people are enslaved to whatever defeats them.

Bring

In the same way we also, when we were children, were in slavery under the elemental forces of the world.

I will put it into the hands of your tormentors,
who said to you:
Lie down, so we can walk over you.
You made your back like the ground,
and like a street for those who walk on it.

In fact, you put up with it if someone enslaves you, if someone devours you, if someone captures you, if someone dominates you, or if someone hits you in the face.

General references

But new wine should be put into fresh wineskins.

If I rebuild the system I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.
