so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

to the end he may establish your hearts unblameable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

proving what is well- pleasing unto the Lord;

prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

For our glorying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you- ward.

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:

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art a stumbling- block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my brother to stumble.

But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good.

Said he not himself unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and the innocency of my hands have I done this.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed;

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;

but whoso shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.Woe unto the world because of occasions of stumbling! for it must needs be that the occasions come; but woe to that man through whom the occasion cometh!

I speak not by way of commandment, but as proving through the earnestness of others the sincerity also of your love.

Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with you, as ye say.Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

Overthrow not for meat’s sake the work of God. All things indeed are clean; howbeit it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.It is good not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy brother stumbleth.

I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;

Butter and honey shall he eat, when he knoweth to refuse the evil, and choose the good.For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou abhorrest shall be forsaken.

For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible.

For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved.

the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.

But Peter answered and said unto him, If all shall be offended in thee, I will never be offended.

Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food?

But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling- block of the cross been done away.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them.
