Thematic Bible: Avoid those given to
Thematic Bible
Anger » Avoid those given to
“O my soul, do not come into their secret council;
Let not my glory (honor) be united with their assembly [for I knew nothing of their plot];
Because in their anger they killed men [an honored man, Shechem, and the Shechemites],
And in their self-will they lamed oxen.
Do not even associate with a man given to angry outbursts;
Or go [along] with a hot-tempered man,
Drunkenness » Avoid those given to
Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,
But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler—you must not so much as eat with such a person.
