Paul writes the same way in all his letters. He speaks about what I have just told you. His letters include some things that are hard to understand. People who don’t know better and aren’t firm in the faith twist what he says. They twist the other Scriptures too. So they will be destroyed.

a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness.But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh:for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God:and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us- ward.For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God.For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hopethat the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first- fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:and whom he foreordained, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth;who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, that was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that 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, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; enticing unstedfast souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; children of cursing;

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.

And the burden of Jehovah shall ye mention no more: for every man’s own word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of Jehovah of hosts our God.

and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk,— that ye abound more and more.For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

But Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.

Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures;and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve;then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles;and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also.For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.Now if Christ is preached that he hath been raised from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither hath Christ been raised:and if Christ hath not been raised, then is our preaching vain, your faith also is vain.Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we witnessed of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead are not raised.For if the dead are not raised, neither hath Christ been raised:and if Christ hath not been raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep.For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ’s, at his coming.Then cometh the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power.For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet.The last enemy that shall be abolished is death.For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is excepted who did subject all things unto him.And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all.Else what shall they do that are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them?Why do we also stand in jeopardy every hour?I protest by that glorying in you, brethren, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.If after the manner of men I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me? If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die.Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals.Awake to soberness righteously, and sin not; for some have no knowledge of God: I speak this to move you to shame.But some one will say, How are the dead raised? and with what manner of body do they come?Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not the body that shall be, but a bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other kind;but God giveth it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes.There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory.So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life- giving spirit.Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.Behold, I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall all be changed,in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord.

All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts,ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For there are certain men crept in privily, even they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Thou shalt not wrest justice: thou shalt not respect persons; neither shalt thou take a bribe; for a bribe doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

And he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

Boiling over as water, thou shalt not have the pre- eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; Then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.

And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron?Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them, Why is it that ye are returned?And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.And he said unto them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spake unto him, O man of God, the king hath said, Come down.And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight.And the angel of Jehovah said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.So he died according to the word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Therefore the law is slacked, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore justice goeth forth perverted.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest justice:

And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of Jehovah, she came to prove him with hard questions.

Thou shalt not wrest the justice due to thy poor in his cause.
