Love is not Mean
Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of
God cometh on the children of disobedience: In the which ye also
walked some time, when ye lived in them. But now ye also put off all
these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of
your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the
old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed
in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is
neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian,
Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one
another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against
any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these
things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the
peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in
one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to
the Lord. - Colossians 3:5-16
Let
your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know
how ye ought to answer every man. - Colossians 4:6
Let
all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake
hath forgiven you. - Ephesians 4:31-32
For
there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once
knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land
of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels
which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he
hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment
of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about
them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile
the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael
the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the
body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but
said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things
which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts,
in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have
gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam
for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots
in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding
themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about
of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead,
plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their
own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of
darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied
of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have
spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after
their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words,
having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. But,
beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there
should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own
ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having
not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most
holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of
God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal
life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others
save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment
spotted by the flesh. - Jude 1:4-23
Charity
suffereth
long,
and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up, - 1 Corinthians 13:4
