Romans 1:29–30

²⁰For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

²⁸A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

²⁰Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

⁷All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

¹⁰As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

²For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

¹⁶These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

¹⁸For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

⁵Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

¹⁶But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

⁷Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

⁸So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

³For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

¹¹And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.

²And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the Lord? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.

¹⁹Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

¹⁵Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

⁴Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

³⁶For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.

¹⁸¶ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

¹⁹Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

²⁰And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

²¹And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

¹⁶Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

¹⁰And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

²⁹Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

⁷In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

²³He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

²⁴If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

¹⁶And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

⁴For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

²¹¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

³⁵And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

²³The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

³⁶But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

³⁹Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

⁶They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

¹WHY boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

¹⁵The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.

⁴How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

⁷Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

⁸Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

¹⁷Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

²³Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

²⁷Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

¹⁷The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

³For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth.
