30 Bible Verses about Freedom, Abuse Of Christian

Consequently, there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.

Who will bring an accusation against God's elect? It is God Who justifieth; who is he that condemns? It is Christ Who died, yea, rather, That was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God, Who also is making intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or perils or sword?read more.
As it has been written, "For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us. For I am persuaded that, neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

yet now did He reconcile in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and without blemish, and irreproachable, before Him;

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him Who loveth, and loosed us from our sins in His own blood,

Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave of sin. And the slave abides not in the house forever; the son abides forever. If, therefore, the Son shall make you free, ye will be free indeed.

Know ye not that to whom ye present yourselves as slaves for obedience, his slaves ye are whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death, or obedience unto righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though ye were slaves of sin, ye did, however, obey from the heart that form of teaching unto which ye were delivered; and, having been made free from sin, ye were made slaves of righteousness.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; but what I hate, this I do. But, if what I wish not, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.read more.
And now no longer do I accomplish it, but the sin which dwells in me. For I know that there dwells not in me, that is, in my flesh, any good; for to wish is present with me: but to do that which is good a not. For the good that I wish, I do not; but the evil which I wish not, this I practice. But, if what I wish not, this I do, it is no more I that perform it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. Consequently, I find the law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is present. or I delight in the law of God after the inward man; but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Wretched man that I am! who will deliver me out of the body of this death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.

For he that was called in the Lord, being a slave, is the Lord's freedman: likewise, he that was called, being free, is Christ's slave. Ye were bought with a price; become not slaves of men.

promising them liberty, while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what one is overcome by this he has become enslaved.

Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey its desires;

Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us??aving thrown off every encumbrance and the easily besetting sin??et us run with patience the race lying before us; looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for those that sin not to death. There is a sin to death: I do not say that he shall make request concerning this. All unrighteousness is sin; and there is a sin not to death. We know that every one who has been begotten of God sins not; but he who was begotten of God keeps himself, and the evil one touches him not.

What, then, shall we say? Shall we persist in sin, that grace may abound? It could not be! How shall we, who died to sin, live any longer therein?

But, if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, Who visits with wrath? (I speak after the manner of a man). It could not be! for, then, how shall God judge the world? But, if the truth of God, through my lie, abounded unto His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?read more.
And why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil that good may come?" whose condemnation is just.

All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable; all things are lawful, but not all things build up.

But, if while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is, then, Christ a minister of sin? It could not be! For, if I am building up again, what I pulled down, I show myself to be a transgressor. For I through law died to law, that I might live to God.read more.
I have been crucified with Christ; and no longer am I living, but Christ is living in me; and, in so far as I am now living in flesh, I live in the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for, if righteousness is through law, then Christ died needlessly!

But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak. For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices? For he that is weak??he brother for whom Christ died??erishes by reason of your knowledge.read more.
And thus, sinning against the brethren, and smiting their conscience which is weak, ye sin against Christ.

Now we, the strong, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each one of us please his neighbor in that which is good for his edification; for even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it has been written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me."

For ye were called to freedom, brethren; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love serve one another;

But him that is weak in the faith receive ye, yet not for decisions of scruples. One believes that he may eat all things; but he that is weak eats herbs. Let not him that eats despise him that eats not; and let not him that does not eat despise him that eats; for God received him.read more.
Who are you that judge another's servant? To his own lord he stands or falls. But he shall be made to stand; for the Lord is able to make him stand. One man, indeed, esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each one be fully convinced in his own mind. He that regards the day regards it to the Lord; and he that eats eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and gives thanks to God. For no one of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For, if we live, we live to the Lord; and, if we die, we die to the Lord: whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died, and lived, that He might be Lord of both dead and living. But you??hy do you judge your brother? or you also??hy do you despise your brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it has been written, "As I live, saith the Lord, to Me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess to God." So, then, each one of us shall give account concerning himself to God. Let us not, therefore, judge one another any more; but judge ye this rather, not to put a stumbling-block, or an occasion of falling, in a brother's way. I know, and have been persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself: except that to him who accounts anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. For, if because of your food your brother is aggrieved, you are no longer walking in accordance with love. Destroy not with your food him for whom Christ died. Let not, therefore, your good be evil spoken of; for the Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. For he that in these things serves Christ, is well-pleasing to God, and approved by men.

as free, and not holding your freedom as a cloak for wickedness, but as servants of God.

Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us??aving thrown off every encumbrance and the easily besetting sin??et us run with patience the race lying before us;

Every one that is abiding in Him sins not; whosoever sins has not seen Him nor known Him.

Every one who commits sin commits lawlessness also; and sin is lawlessness.

and holding ourselves in readiness to avenge every disobedience, when your obedience is made complete.

Let no one deceive you with empty words; for, because of these things, comes the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

But whosoever possesses the goods of the world, and beholds his brother having need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

"And, if ye love those who love you, what charm have you? for even the sinners love those who love them. "And, if ye do good to those who do good to you, what charm have you? even the sinners do the same. "And, if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what charm have you? even the sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive back as much.

Now, concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we know because we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone thinks that he has known anything, not yet did he know it as he ought to know it; but, if anyone loves God, the same has been known by Him:read more.
concerning, therefore, the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but One. For, even if there are things called gods, whether in heaven, or on earth (as there are gods many, and lords many); yet to us there is One God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we for Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom are all things, and we through Him. But this knowledge is not in all; but some, by familiarity with the idol even until now, eat it as an idol-sacrifice; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. But food will not commend us to God; neither, if we eat not, are we lacking; nor, if we eat, do we abound. But take heed, lest this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak. For, if anyone sees you, who have knowledge, reclining at table in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat the idol-sacrifices? For he that is weak??he brother for whom Christ died??erishes by reason of your knowledge. And thus, sinning against the brethren, and smiting their conscience which is weak, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will in no wise eat flesh forevermore; that I cause not my brother to stumble.

But I have a few things against you, because you have there those holding the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat idol-sacrifices, and to commit fornication.
