No one should look out for their own interests. Instead, they should look out for the interests of others.

All the others are looking out for their own interests. They are not looking out for the interests of Jesus Christ.

Finally, my brothers and sisters, always think about what is true. Think about what is noble, right and pure. Think about what is lovely and worthy of respect. If anything is excellent or worthy of praise, think about those kinds of things.

Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.None of you should look out just for your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others.As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.

Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who live by the Spirit should correct that person. Do it in a gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too.Carry one another’s heavy loads. If you do, you will fulfill the law of Christ.

My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.

My brothers and sisters, you were chosen to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to live under the power of sin. Instead, serve one another in love.

We who have strong faith should help the weak with their problems. We should not please only ourselves.Each of us should please our neighbors. Let us do what is good for them in order to build them up.

So we will all have to explain to God the things we have done.Let us stop judging one another. Instead, decide not to put anything in the way of a brother or sister. Don’t put anything in their way that would make them trip and fall.I am absolutely sure that nothing is“ unclean” in itself. The Lord Jesus has convinced me of this. But someone may consider a thing to be“ unclean.” If they do, it is“ unclean” for them.Your brother or sister may be upset by what you eat. If they are, you are no longer acting as though you love them. So don’t destroy them by what you eat. Remember that Christ died for them.

The Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this. He said to himself,“ If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him. He would know what kind of woman she is. She is a sinner!”

In that way, the parts of the body will not take sides. All of them will take care of one another.

First, here is what people are telling me. When you come together as a church, you take sides. And in some ways I believe it.

But here is what I tell you. Do not be angry with a brother or sister. Anyone who is angry with them will be judged. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,‘ Raca,’ must stand trial in court. And anyone who says,‘ You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire in hell.

Jesus looked around at them in anger. He was very upset because their hearts were stubborn. Then he said to the man,“ Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and his hand had become as good as new.

Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said,“ Why do you have evil thoughts in your hearts?

By the waters of Meribah the Lord’ s people made him angry. Moses got in trouble because of them.They refused to obey the Spirit of God. So Moses spoke without thinking.

“ I know exactly what you people are thinking. I know you are planning to do bad things to me.

I had been like a gentle lamb led off to be killed. I didn’t realize they had made plans against me. They had said,“ Let’s destroy the tree and its fruit. Let’s take away his life. Then his name won’t be remembered anymore.”

As you eat, some of you go ahead and eat your own private meals. Because of this, one person stays hungry and another gets drunk.Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? You are shaming those in the church who have nothing. Do you think so little of God’s church that you do this? What should I say to you? Should I praise you? Certainly not about the Lord’s Supper!

Follow my example. I try to please everyone in every way. I’m not looking out for what is good for me. I’m looking out for the interests of others. I do it so that they might be saved.

God is not a God of disorder. He is a God of peace, just as in all the churches of the Lord’s people.Women should remain silent in church meetings. They are not allowed to speak. They must follow the lead of those who are in authority, as the law says.If they have a question about something, they should ask their own husbands at home. It is shameful for women to speak in church meetings.Or did the word of God begin with you? Or are you the only people it has reached?Suppose anyone thinks they are a prophet. Or suppose they think they have other gifts given by the Holy Spirit. They should agree that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.But anyone who does not recognize this will not be recognized.Brothers and sisters, you should want to prophesy. And don’t stop people from speaking in languages they had not known before.But everything should be done in a proper and orderly way.

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”Lord, please listen to me! Hear what my enemies are saying about me!Should the good things I’ve done be paid back with evil? But my enemies have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood in front of you and spoke up for them. I tried to turn your anger away from them.

Suppose someone is worried that he is not acting with honor toward the virgin he has promised to marry. Suppose his desires are too strong, and he feels that he should marry her. He should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married.

People will treat one another badly. They will fight against one another. They will fight against their neighbors. Young people will attack old people. Ordinary people will attack those who are more important.

God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be brought back to him.

The Ammonite commanders spoke to their master Hanun. They said,“ David has sent messengers to tell you he is sad. They say he wants to honor your father. But the real reason they’ve come is to look the city over. They want to destroy it.”

You know how you should follow our example. We worked when we were with you.

Johanan and all the other army officers still in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah. Johanan was the son of Kareah.The officers spoke to Gedaliah. They said,“ Don’t you know that Baalis has sent someone to take your life? Baalis is the king of Ammon. He has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah.” But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, didn’t believe them.Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, spoke in private to Gedaliah in Mizpah. He said,“ Let me go and kill Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah. No one will know about it. Why should he take your life? Why should he cause all the Jews gathered around you to be scattered? Why should he cause the people who remain in Judah to die?”But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, spoke to Johanan, the son of Kareah. He said,“ Don’t do an awful thing like that! What you are saying about Ishmael isn’t true.”

Moses was a very humble man. In fact, he was more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.

Then Moses became very angry. He said to the Lord,“ Don’t accept their offering. I haven’t taken even a donkey from them. In fact, I haven’t done anything wrong to any of them.”

He and Aaron gathered the people together in front of the rock. Moses said to them,“ Listen, you who refuse to obey! Do we have to bring water out of this rock for you?”Then Moses raised his arm. He hit the rock twice with his walking stick. Water poured out. And the people and their livestock drank it.But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,“ You did not trust in me enough to honor me. You did not honor me as the holy God in front of the Israelites. So you will not bring this community into the land I am giving them.”

Anyone who gets angry quickly does foolish things. And a person who is tricky is hated.

So I put up with everything for the good of God’s chosen people. Then they also can be saved. Christ Jesus saves them. He gives them glory that will last forever.

You be the judge. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God without covering her head?Suppose a man has long hair. Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that it is shameful?And suppose a woman has long hair. Doesn’t the very nature of things teach you that it is her glory? Long hair is given to her as a covering.If anyone wants to argue about this, we don’t have any other practice. And God’s churches don’t either.
