Thematic Bible: Despisement


Thematic Bible










and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art proven of him: for whom the Lord loves he chastises, and scourges every son whom he receives.




For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles the last, as exposed to death: that we may become a theater to the world, and to angels, and to men. We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are glorious, but we are dishonorable.

After these things the Lord chose seventy others also, and sent them out two by two before His face, into every place and city, where He was about to come. And He said to them, The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few: therefore pray you the Lord of the harvest, that He may send forth laborers into His harvest. Go: behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. read more.
Take neither purse, nor valise, nor sandals: salute no one by the way. Into whatsoever house you may enter, first say, Peace be unto this house. And if the son of peace may be there, your peace shall rest upon it: but if not, it shall return unto you. Abide in the same house, eating and drinking those things which are with them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Into whatsoever city you may enter and they may receive you, eat those things which are placed by you: and heal the sick who are in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has come nigh unto you. And into whatsoever city you may enter, and they may not receive you, having come out into the streets of the same, say, Even the dust from your city, that cleaveth to our feet, do we wipe off against you: but know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand. For I say unto you, that it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were wrought in you had been in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting down in sackcloth and ashes. Moreover it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum, art thou not exalted up to heaven? thou shalt be cast down to Hades. He that heareth you heareth me; he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth Him that sent me.


For you know what promises we gave unto you through our Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification, that you abstain from fornication; that each one of you know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor, read more.
not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God; that one should overreach and defraud his brother in a business transaction: because the Lord is the avenger concerning these things, as we indeed before told you and witnessed to you. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification. Therefore the one rejecting (sanctification), does not reject man, but God, who indeed gives to you his Holy Spirit.

And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of them, and said, Truly I say unto you, unless you may be converted, and become as little children, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens. Therefore whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens; read more.
and whosoever shall receive such little child in my name, receives me. But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world on account of offensives, for it is necessary that offensives come; but woe unto that man through whom the offense comes! If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. And if thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee having one eye entering into life, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of the fire. See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.

as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them, in a manner like unto them committing fornication, and going after other flesh, present an example receiving the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise indeed these dreamers also pollute the flesh, and reject lordship, and blaspheme glories.
