Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators!

So he instructed them, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers out into his harvest.

By making silver shrines of Artemis, a silversmith named Demetrius provided a large income for skilled workers.

So if Demetrius and his workers have a charge against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. They should accuse one another there.

For we are God's co-workers. You are God's farmland and God's building.

Such people are false apostles, dishonest workers who are masquerading as apostles of the Messiah.

Yes, I also ask you, my true partner, to help these women. They have worked hard with me to advance the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

Jesus, who is called Justus, also greets you. These are the only ones of the circumcision who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me.

A good person produces good from the good treasure of his heart, and an evil person produces evil from an evil treasure, because the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart."

Do not pay anyone back evil for evil, but focus your thoughts on what is right in the sight of all people.

Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.

Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else.

Do not pay others back evil for evil or insult for insult. Instead, keep blessing them, because you were called to inherit a blessing.

Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because what he was doing was evil and his brother's actions were righteous.
