Ye

For everyone who does wrong hates the light and will not come to it, for fear his actions will be exposed.

and can understand his will, and from hearing the Law read can tell what is right,

But if I do what I do not want to do, I acknowledge that the Law is right.

For to be physically minded means hostility to God, for it refuses to obey God's law, indeed it cannot obey it.

You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is??hat is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Approve things that are excellent

You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is??hat is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Such men are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

you must make sure what pleases the Lord.

but test them all, retaining what is good

For although from the length of your Christian experience you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very elements of Christian truth, and you have come to need milk instead of solid food.

Dear friends, do not believe every inspired utterance, but test the utterances to see whether they come from God, for many false prophets have come out into the world.

I know what you have done; your hard work and your endurance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, and that you have tested those who claimed to be apostles when they were not, and have found them to be impostors.

That ye may be

These latter do it from love for me, for they know that God has put me where I am to defend our right to preach the good news.

Therefore I strive always to have a clear conscience before God and men.

For my boast is what my conscience tells me, that my relations to the world and still more to you have been marked by pure motives and godly sincerity, not by worldly shrewdness but by the favor of God.

For I am no peddler of God's message, like most men, but like a man of sincerity, commissioned by God and in his presence, in union with Christ I utter his message.

I do not mean this as a command. I only want to test the genuineness of your love by the devotion of others.

We must lovingly hold to the truth and grow up into perfect union with him who is the head??hrist himself.

God's blessing be with all who have an unfailing love for our Lord Jesus Christ.

so that your hearts may be strong and faultlessly pure in the sight of our God and Father, when our Lord Jesus appears with all his saints!

May God himself, the giver of peace, consecrate you through and through. Spirit, soul, and body, may you be kept sound, and be found irreproachable when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

But he turned and said to Peter, "Get out of my sight, you Satan! You hinder me, for you do not side with God, but with men!"

But whoever hinders one of these children who believe in me might better have a great millstone hung around his neck and be sunk in the open sea.

Peter answered, "If they all desert you, I will never do it!"

You must not, just for the sake of food, undo the work of God. It is true, everything is clean, but it is wrong for a man to hurt the consciences of others by what he eats.

I beg you, brothers, to be on the watch for those who introduce divisions and difficulties, in opposition to the instruction that you were given, and to avoid them.

Therefore, if what I eat makes my brother fall, I will never eat meat again, rather than make my brother fall.

You must not be hindrances to Jews or Greeks or to the church of God either,

I put no obstacles in anyone's path, so that no fault may be found with my work.

And I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? If that is the case, the cross has ceased to be an obstacle, I suppose!

so that your hearts may be strong and faultlessly pure in the sight of our God and Father, when our Lord Jesus appears with all his saints!
