Now we who are strong have an obligation to bear the weaknesses of those without strength, and not to please ourselves.

instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth.

Yet don’t consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

My brothers and sisters, if any among you strays from the truth, and someone turns him back,let that person know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

Have mercy on those who waver;save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed instead.

but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as holy, ready at any time to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you.

Welcome anyone who is weak in faith, but don’t argue about disputed matters.

As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overwhelmed by excessive grief.

Now I, Paul, myself, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble among you in person but bold toward you when absent.

I will seek the lost, bring back the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak, but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will shepherd them with justice.

So, whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to fall.

What do you want? Should I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

Strengthen the weak hands, steady the shaking knees!Say to the cowardly:“ Be strong; do not fear! Here is your God; vengeance is coming. God’s retribution is coming; he will save you.”

What do you think? If someone has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go and search for the stray?And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices over that sheep more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones perish.“ If your brother sins against you, go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.

For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body.

Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice. For I didn’t come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Indeed, you have instructed many and have strengthened weak hands.Your words have steadied the one who was stumbling and braced the knees that were buckling.

Do not deprive one another— except when you agree for a time, to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again; otherwise, Satan may tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, and yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone.

“ But the father told his servants,‘ Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast,because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ So they began to celebrate.“ Now his older son was in the field; as he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.So he summoned one of the servants, questioning what these things meant.‘ Your brother is here,’ he told him,‘ and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’“ Then he became angry and didn’t want to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him.But he replied to his father,‘ Look, I have been slaving many years for you, and I have never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends.But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.’“‘ Son,’ he said to him,‘ you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

One evening David got up from his bed and strolled around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing— a very beautiful woman.So David sent someone to inquire about her, and he said,“ Isn’t this Bathsheba, daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hethite?”David sent messengers to get her, and when she came to him, he slept with her. Now she had just been purifying herself from her uncleanness. Afterward, she returned home.The woman conceived and sent word to inform David,“ I am pregnant.”David sent orders to Joab:“ Send me Uriah the Hethite.” So Joab sent Uriah to David.When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab and the troops were doing and how the war was going.Then he said to Uriah,“ Go down to your house and wash your feet.” So Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king followed him.But Uriah slept at the door of the palace with all his master’s servants; he did not go down to his house.When it was reported to David,“ Uriah didn’t go home,” David questioned Uriah,“ Haven’t you just come from a journey? Why didn’t you go home?”Uriah answered David,“ The ark, Israel, and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my master Joab and his soldiers are camping in the open field. How can I enter my house to eat and drink and sleep with my wife? As surely as you live and by your life, I will not do this!”“ Stay here today also,” David said to Uriah,“ and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem that day and the next.Then David invited Uriah to eat and drink with him, and David got him drunk. He went out in the evening to lie down on his cot with his master’s servants, but he did not go home.The next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah.In the letter he wrote: Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest fighting, then withdraw from him so that he is struck down and dies.When Joab was besieging the city, he put Uriah in the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were.Then the men of the city came out and attacked Joab, and some of the men from David’s soldiers fell in battle; Uriah the Hethite also died.Joab sent someone to report to David all the details of the battle.He commanded the messenger,“ When you’ve finished telling the king all the details of the battle—if the king’s anger gets stirred up and he asks you,‘ Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you realize they would shoot from the top of the wall?At Thebez, who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the top of the wall so that he died? Why did you get so close to the wall?’— then say,‘ Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.’”Then the messenger left. When he arrived, he reported to David all that Joab had sent him to tell.The messenger reported to David,“ The men gained the advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we counterattacked right up to the entrance of the city gate.However, the archers shot down on your servants from the top of the wall, and some of the king’s servants died. Your servant Uriah the Hethite is also dead.”David told the messenger,“ Say this to Joab:‘ Don’t let this matter upset you because the sword devours all alike. Intensify your fight against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him.”When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband, Uriah, had died, she mourned for him.When the time of mourning ended, David had her brought to his house. She became his wife and bore him a son. However, the LORD considered what David had done to be evil.So the LORD sent Nathan to David. When he arrived, he said to him: There were two men in a certain city, one rich and the other poor.The rich man had very large flocks and herds,but the poor man had nothing except one small ewe lamb that he had bought. He raised her, and she grew up with him and with his children. From his meager food she would eat, from his cup she would drink, and in his arms she would sleep. She was like a daughter to him.Now a traveler came to the rich man, but the rich man could not bring himself to take one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare for the traveler who had come to him. Instead, he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for his guest.David was infuriated with the man and said to Nathan,“ As the LORD lives, the man who did this deserves to die!Because he has done this thing and shown no pity, he must pay four lambs for that lamb.”Nathan replied to David,“ You are the man! This is what the LORD God of Israel says:‘ I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from Saul.I gave your master’s house to you and your master’s wives into your arms, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more.Why then have you despised the LORD’s command by doing what I consider evil? You struck down Uriah the Hethite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife— you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.Now therefore, the sword will never leave your house because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hethite to be your own wife.’“ This is what the LORD says,‘ I am going to bring disaster on you from your own family: I will take your wives and give them to another before your very eyes, and he will sleep with them in broad daylight.You acted in secret, but I will do this before all Israel and in broad daylight.’”David responded to Nathan,“ I have sinned against the LORD.” Then Nathan replied to David,“ And the LORD has taken away your sin; you will not die.However, because you treated the LORD with such contempt in this matter, the son born to you will die.”Then Nathan went home. The LORD struck the baby that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and he became deathly ill.

If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

Now the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned.For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party.Then the rest of the Jews joined his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.

“ What man among you, who has a hundred sheep and loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open field and go after the lost one until he finds it?When he has found it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders,and coming home, he calls his friends and neighbors together, saying to them,‘ Rejoice with me, because I have found my lost sheep!’I tell you, in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who don’t need repentance.

gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.

Take up my yoke and learn from me, because I am lowly and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.

Remember those in prison, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily.

When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife, Sarai,“ Look, I know what a beautiful woman you are.When the Egyptians see you, they will say,‘ This is his wife.’ They will kill me but let you live.Please say you’re my sister so it will go well for me because of you, and my life will be spared on your account.”

Moses and Aaron summoned the assembly in front of the rock, and Moses said to them,“ Listen, you rebels! Must we bring water out of this rock for you?”Then Moses raised his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff, so that abundant water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,“ Because you did not trust me to demonstrate my holiness in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this assembly into the land I have given them.”These are the Waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD, and he demonstrated his holiness to them.

Noah, as a man of the soil, began by planting a vineyard.He drank some of the wine, became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside.Then Shem and Japheth took a cloak and placed it over both their shoulders, and walking backward, they covered their father’s nakedness. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father naked.When Noah awoke from his drinking and learned what his youngest son had done to him,

and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken,“ Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went outside and wept bitterly.

For my part, brothers and sisters, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.

Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant girl approached him and said,“ You were with Jesus the Galilean too.”
