SECOND PART

MANNER OF LIVING WITH THE LORD OF ISRAEL'S HOLY SPIRIT

Now I will explain how God tutors us and perfects us to mature towards the divine truths and exercises our ability of sense to comprehend the good and the bad. From Children who need milk, he lets us grow into adults with solid spiritual nourishment.

With solid nourishment, with distinction, with honesty, with integrity, with responsibility, with strength, with love, with faith, with modesty, with self-denial of ourselves we should learn to dress the new person within Christ. The tutoring and the trials are proof that you are genuine children of God.

The Lord tutors the ones He loves, and because nothing filthy will take place in the kingdom of God is why He purifies us with His Holy Spirit.

This spiritual nourishment is given to those who receive the Holy Spirit, the Lord will also effuse all of the Holy Spirit to others that belong to him.

When you receive the Holy Spirit of God it teaches you to come with strength and love towards him forever, and towards our Lord Jesus Christ. He testifies that, Jesus is the Christ of God, that he became flesh, that he was crucified, and that he really resurrected from the dead on the 3^rd day, and that our faith in Him removes our sins.

Also He asks us to love all the people and asks us to start the study of the Holy Bible, the living Word of God.

However, we must know that it exists like stages and steps that God allows so that gradually we learn to increase and to open our limits and the knowledge of our narrow-mindedness of our knowledge, our thoughts, and our truths.

You don't realize that God tutors you, He puts His children through trial because until today, nobody has explained us clearly. But God tutors us and gradually we understand the Truths of His living word and the Wisdom of God. We don't comprehend everything just what He allows us to, just what we need to live. The tutoring of God is difficult, that's why we should show patients and thank Him, that He is occupied with us. Tutoring us is a great honor that he is giving us, and no matter how hard he tries us, it's to learn to live in His Divine Nature.

It is a hard struggle to learn to have self-control within ourselves, and immediately after to learn to be the same control externally. That's the only way to win the crown that God and Jesus give to every winner.

I still continue to struggle from the beginning and for a lot of years. Now and still today I try to tame myself, it's an everyday struggle.

For these reasons, in the beginning He speaks to you, he explains the truth of the Holy Bible and always with respect for the human mind, He does not to want to put and ocean in a kitchen sink.

Furthermore, in tests, God tries our Faith and allows situations for our learning to increase out strength in faith from our difficulties, will we stay solid till the end? Or is our faith weak, and with the first blow it gets lost?

Here, I will tell you about my experience, that a lot of people on earth today, find themselves in this stage. After my tutoring of eight years I thank the Lord for this solid nourishment for all His children.

Love dissolves the narrowness of thoughts, and the limits of love for others and also our fears, but God waits for us until we reach maturity to accept His truth and give us the test to facilitate our understanding.

When God sees that you are searching and that you ask Him to really understand, when you ask yourself deeply in your soul, with sincerity and with humanity, maybe it's my functioning that provokes these difficulties that are happening to me. These trials are unconceivable to me, and why does God give them to me? Why does God allow them? That do I ever need to understand? What does he want to give me to understand? Then slowly God decides for spiritual maturity and then you receive solid nourishment, health, and not milk.

That's when you look at the past, remember the trials, and begin to understand fully why God allows them. Above all, you realize why you needed them, because without these trials, we wouldn't be capable to simply understand the solid spiritual nourishment that gives from God, to grow towards the comprehension of His truth.

If He gave us this nourishment before the trials, we wouldn't be capable of understanding it, managing it, or feeling it. After these trials and the tutoring, everything is clear.

I read the Holy Bible hundreds of times. I thought I understood it. I confess, that when I read it today, I feel and comprehend it like I have no more blind folds, like a cover fell that prevented me from understanding the essence of God's word. I can't stop thanking Him for the treasure.

When the Holy Spirit of God starts to talk to us, we ask Him to guide us, for our personal problems, for our personal needs, and for our personal interests. We think that God will understand our weaknesses, and sometimes we don't realize our faults, our egocentrism, and our limits.

We also have the habit to always ask Him for every little thing. We don't even think of what we ask Him. We ask because it is the easy thing to do.

We are in the beginning of TUTORING THE FIRST STEP OF A NARROW ROAD. Every one of us is full of bad habits, bad desires, pride, haughtiness, no restrain, no patience and without many virtues that our God, and Father expects from us.

Some little and some more and when we read the New Testament, we say that it's impossible to do everything that is asked of us, it's very hard, especially the fragments of out conduct. A lot of text we can't fully understand the meaning that is hidden.

God allows these trials so we can exactly concept out functioning to improve and change.

However, God doesn't ask you to change He waits for you to recognize your faults and to decide on your own to change them.

God leaves you in this stage, in this step where you go through small and big tests, and He looks at the maturity which you manage these trials in, where you work with a small amount of spiritual maturity, like a green fruit that is unripe.

God opens your eyes if you fall, and accepts your weaknesses and faults with humbleness.

Nevertheless you continue to ask Him anything that is small and personal, and God answers to you that He loves you as you are. He doesn't put a limit on His love.

He awaits us, because it's the time for the tutoring of God.

God sees us and hears us. He is attentive to our behavior, the quality of our reactions, and the strength of our faith. Let us understand with maturity, that it is the Lord who gives us tests to strengthen us and to make us more virtuous in the management of situations.

When we have matured, we learn to thank Him for all these tests and all these situations which will allow us to understand the solid spiritual nourishment of God.

The love toward God and the people transforms our narrow-mindedness and our limits.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said:

Therefore, I tell you: ask and it will be given, search and you will find, knock and it will be opened.

Whoever asks receives, whoever searches finds, and whoever knocks it opens.

Because, if you were a father, when your son asks for bread, would you give him a rock?

When he asks for fish, will you give him a snake instead? When he asks for and egg, will you give him a scorpion? Therefore, in spite of all who are sinners, you know how to give good things to your children; it's more likely the heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to anyone that asks Him. "Luke 11:9-13"

When the light and God's love illuminates you, Satan will never be with you, because the Glory of God chases him away.

The virtues and divine truths chase him away and disarm him.

Only in your thoughts, he can penetrate hypocritically if he finds ground, if he finds a thought of your lower functioning, your weaknesses, or your limits. But he does not take God's name or Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ used only the truths of God that are found in the Words of God, the Holy Bible, to disarm him and destroy the arguments of Satan.

Satan's temptations for us are very different but I will explain in more detail later.

It's true that the trials are given according to the trying of our heart at some faults.

God would like us to understand that through the tests that He allows us with His holy name.

Simply, when the solid spiritual nourishment is given, you realize that if you knew it, you would not have fallen in all these tests, but before you would not have known how to understand it, comprehend it, or to live it.

For these reasons God gives us many tests some small, others bigger, until we mature spiritually.

We learn to be humble, and we recognize our mistakes, and our souls should tremble, perhaps we're not functioning right within His children, because we want it within ourselves, we decided upon it. We have to learn to live externally with others. We should be the living example of His children.

My heart doesn't tremble from fear that God and Jesus doesn't love me, but I don't want to upset Him with my behavior, with my thoughts, or with my words. I know that I upset Him and I don't want that. This is why we all should be careful of the things we do.

Today when I make a mistake as soon as a realize it; I try not to repeat it again. I always check myself, that helps me to have more self-control, patience, etc.

Because every one of us has their personal truth, with limitations and narrow-mindedness, but from Gods tutoring, He would love us to mature until we are ready to accept the truths that come from Him.

He adapts to our truths and our limitations through the entire duration of the first stage so He can raise us towards Love with out limitations towards Him, Jesus, and His children.

The love, words, actions wisdom, honesty, integrity, discretion, will, willpower, the strength of faith, patience, self control, self restraint, everyday prayer, and the study of the Bible, etc.

God's fruits allow us to live as His children.

Always analyze what is good for others for love towards others. We should love God without always asking Him for things that are for ourselves only. We should be how God wants us to be so He can enploy us to help and love others truly.

You should be careful to what you say so you will not support selfish words and actions, until you guide others with love and wisdom towards the virtues of God, just like He asks of us.

THE LOVE FOR GOD AND THE LOVE TOWARDS OTHERS DRIVES AWAY the limitation that a person and his narrow-mindedness have upon God.

For this reason during the first stage, God tutors with tests, but He respects the limitations, the comprehension, and the truth of everyone.

He waits for us to mature so we can understand, analyze, and look within ourselves, and to be near Him.

When He Himself decides for the time of our maturity is the time that He gives us solid nourishment.

Now, your LOVE allows you to feel the difference, and to enjoy this solid nourishment, and thank God for all the trials of the first stage.

At this time we secure the sake of solid nourishment, we are capable of managing these situations and difficulties, like a child of God. This is so that we don't make the same mistakes like the beginning. We are mature now because:

Now at this new stage you receive the divine nourishment, but the enforcement is a little harder. When you have the will and help of God you have the freedom of choice to apply and rise spiritually.

We should learn to be warm and luminous with in ourselves, like the sun, with love and light to fulfill the will of God. Until we separate from our weaknesses, our will, and our selfish interests.

Forget the person of flesh that enchains you to the riches of the outside world.

We should reach to be like the sun externally with love and discretion warm and luminous towards others.

But, you shouldn't allow them to prevent you from continuing to rise spiritually and you should continue the work God entrusted to you with love and strength. 

They could continue to prevent you because they are bonded to this everyday world. Here, you need love, discretion, and wisdom.

You should remain free like the sun that illuminates and warms the whole world, without any exception.

The sun doesn't change its course for anyone; it remains free, that is the reason it keeps continuing to shine for everyone at the same time.

The sun continues and doesn't get distressed over the clouds. It remains above the clouds, and continues with the same intensity.

We also have to continue to rise spiritually towards the virtues, and at the time that we reach a secure spiritual maturity, then God will be able to treat all of us fully like He wants, and not the way we want.

God teaches us to trust him with our problems, because He is our castle anytime. With faith we should do His will, and learn to abandon ourselves to His love without fear.

The person of flesh functions with selfish love, haughtiness, hypocrisy, false testimony, ungratefulness, injustice, slander, uncertainty, not honorable, irresponsible, ill will, greed, adultery, idolatry, jealousy, anger, combat, selfishness, etc.

All these bond a person with their small selfish world.

Here if the prince of this world, the satan, finds ground in your thoughts or in your heart, he gets inside of you, but not with Gods and Jesus Christ's name. However, you allow him to enter with your bad thoughts and wishes. He tells you that he supports your heart's wishes and your selfishness that brings catastrophes upon yourself.

God allows him that, so we can strengthen our faith and ourselves.

He enters your thoughts. He is more than sly, more powerful, because he flatters us. He finds our weaknesses and cultivates them, but he never appears. He is very dangerous.

He can also appear with his name, Satan, just like he appeared to the Lord Jesus Christ with the 3 temptations. His words are always about material things and selfishness, so he can try to turn you away from God.

With the knowledge of the Divine Truth you disarm him and chase him far away at both instances. That is the reason it is necessary to know the essence of Gods word.

The functioning of Gods children contains love that is the mother of all virtues. For the love of others, we are patient and righteous, and we are not cheaters or hypocrites. We are careful of what we think about, of what we say, and what we perform with the wisdom of God.

We can pray to God to give us what is necessary to us to become the way He will love us.

Help others, explain to them the Truths of God. Tell them to turn their mind and heart towards God, Jesus Christ, towards the word of God, and the Holy Bible.

That God is agreeable with the virtues that it's not enough to just say I believe in Him, and continue to be a person of flesh, and a person of the world.

We have to learn to remain as SIMPLE AND HUMBLE CHILDREN.

Surely, we should not think we are better than others.

Because whatever we receive from God is a gift to serve Him better, and surely to SERVE HIS CHILDREN BETTER, and everyone else.

Whatever riches He gives us are to give to others so they can receive spiritual nourishment and Gods truths with love, wisdom, patients, kindness, strength, and faith.

We also should learn to accept the freedom of others choices.

Because this freedom of choice God gives to all of us. We need to learn to accept it although it might upset us a lot.

We shouldn't preserve weaknesses out of blind love to someone, because the functioning of flesh isolates you and drives you away from the virtues and the Divine Truth.

We should also learn to forgive completely, and be an example, because we have to start this enforcement from ourselves first.

We should increase our willingness with actions, deeds, and practices every day

What can I do for you and your children today God? What is your will?

The spiritual maturity tutors love, will, discretion, justice, wisdom, prudence, honesty, integrity, etc... Therefore the Divine truths, and Divine Wisdom become more comprehendible in some ways (us humans can't comprehend fully the wisdom of God, but in a small degree we do, so we can live spiritually) for our own good. Nevertheless, we shouldn't ask anything for ourselves (self-denial).

Lets leave it to God to decide what is necessary to us. He knows our true needs. Other needs might be weaknesses or tests.

Because God gives you His word, from love and profit for everyone and for every day, lets ask God to handle us the way He wants and not the way we want.

We should always be happy and thank God everyday for our health, for our everyday spiritual nourishment and the natural nourishment. And for the rest we should allow Him to decide what is useful and necessary for us.

God supports those who love Him and fulfill completely His Holy Will.

With this solid nourishment we start to obligate the person of flesh and of this world, therefore we should stay away from our bonds and weaknesses.

But everything starts from control and operation of our thoughts.

Control and management toward the negative thoughts that drive you to be more of an egotist, more of the flesh, all the words that flatter, and carry you away from good thoughts. All these are the sly and wrong works of satan that penetrate these bad thoughts when he finds weaknesses, open doors, and ground, he comes in and succeeds in causing big damages inside of you and your functioning.

You have to continuously be awake and have discretion, every minute, every second, day after day, and to learn to tell him "NO" with your force.

IT'S A BIG WAR, AN INTERNAL AND TREACHEROUS WAR, A VERY CRUEL WAR, AND A WAR OF THE FLESH AND SPIRIT. WAR: THE LORDS WILL OR SATANS WILL, FIRE OR WATER, LIFE OR DEATH.

However "NO" isn't enough, we have to learn to direct our thought towards love, towards discretion, towards wisdom, towards the virtues, towards the will of God, towards our Lord Jesus Christ, and towards the Word of God.

Don't forget the knowledge of the Divine Truths, they disarm him. How do we get knowledge? We get it with study, prayer, and the help of the Holy Spirit of God.

How do we know that this thought isn't right for a child of God, if we don't exercise and if God doesn't tutor us.

How could we become more bright, and to allow as much as possible the will of God for His children down here. He waits like a father for his dissolute son.

Don't forget that every time we succeed and turn a child toward God, it's like building a church. Every person who believes and lives according to His commandments, there is a church of God.

When you succeed to be the king of your thoughts like God teaches you in the: right functioning of love, discretion, will, wisdom, forgiveness, the freedom for every person to function as they please, patients, humbleness, to chase away the human fears, because there is persecution, etc...

At this stage God checks you with maturity, from your prayers and your speech, all day, every moment if your thoughts, your words, and your actions were bright, correct, and just full.

God checks on these three things everyday.

It is a great honor that He checks on us building higher; He loves us and that is why he checks us, so we don't harm others or ourselves.

Whoever can feel this, his/her lips will not stop thanking Him, because He is engaged in our improvement and to participate in His Divine Nature, and to enter His Kingdom. That's why He tutors us with patients, and He strictly checks on us, so we can increase the Divine fruits.

With the help of prayer, with clear, bright thought, love, discretion, and will, the devil can not find ground to penetrate slyly into your thoughts.

Then your words are the image of your thoughts and actions.

But if you fall and tumble from this spiritual level, and maintain one internal weakness, then again the devil will penetrate slyly to feed you.

He takes away all your effort, and then you have no strength to do the Will of God fully. That's because all your thoughts are occupied with his bad ones, then he is the winner, because he very much wanted to entice you from God's way, so you will decide not to do God's Will.

Because he loves to entice and hurt especially God's children, because the others already belong to him.

He battles with you from within other people, when their thoughts allow him to penetrate, and he hurts you from within others.

Often others don't know it, but since you know it, you should be awake.

Because he even battled slyly with our Lord Jesus Christ from within others, so he could entice Him from His work.

For this reason, Jesus Christ opposed:

"I have you behind me satan".

Because the devil was battling Him from with in His apostles.

Matthew 16:22

Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. "God forbid it, Lord!" he said, "That must never happened to you!"

Jesus turned around and said to Peter, "Get away from me, satan! You are an obstacle in my way, because these thoughts of yours don't come from God, but from human nature."

Be awake and distinguish the things of God, and the things of the people, and the arguments of satan.

But it is never satan who is talking when the Holy Spirit of God appears in His name and talks to you.

All these explanations are the spiritual nourishment that the God of Israel gave to me lately, after a lot of trials, hardships, and hard tutoring. For this reason, I thank Him with all my heart because He is molding me like a person that works with clay, to fulfill fully His Holy Will.

I thank Him for everything and I sincerely hope with all my heart that all these explanations will help all of you, everyone who is receiving the Holy Spirit and everyone who will receive it.

I understand that it's very hard to remain every minute and everyday at this light, but we have to try as much as we can, especially when we fall. In the beginning, we tumble, but we have to continue to rise, because we don't arrive at this eternal light in one day.

But the more we want it, the more we will pursue it, the more we will achieve it, and even more we will be spiritual people.

One day, when you see how wonderful it feels to be the children of the Light, you will actually have the love to remain like that. It's here that you will start to find the way to the Divine Light inside of you, and for others. None of us are with out sin, but we always try. These tries please Our God and Our Father.

And especially we should pray to God and Jesus Christ to help us every moment. With out Their help it's impossible, and some will call me utopian.

Biblical extract from the New Testament

Colossians chap. 3 : 5-16

" Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs TO YOUR EARTHLY NATURE: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY, LUST, EVIL DESIRES AND GREED, WHICH IS IDOLATRY.

BECAUSE OF THESE, THE WRATH OF GOD IS COMING.

You USED to walk in these ways, in the life you ONCE LIVED.

BUT NOW YOU MUST RID YOURSELVES of all such things as these : ANGER, RAGE? MALICE, SLANDER, AND FILTHY LANGUAGE FROM YOUR LIPS.

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, WHICH IS BEING RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE IN THE IMAGE OF ITS CREATOR.

Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Therefore, as God's chosen people, HOLY AND DEARLY LOVED, CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH COMPASSION, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, GENTLENESS AND PATIENCE.

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another.

Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And OVER ALL THESE VIRTUES PUT ON LOVE, WHICH BINDS THEM ALL TOGETHER IN PERFECT UNITY.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your HEARTS, since as members of one body you were called to peace.

And be thankful. Let the WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY AS YOU TEACH AND ADMONISH ONE ANOTHER WITH ALL WISDOM, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

1st Thessalonians chap. 2 : 3-4

For the appeal we make does not spring from ERROR OR IMPURE MOTIVES, nor are we trying to trick you.

On the contrary, we speak as MEN APPROVED BY GOD TO BE ENTRUSTED WITH THE GOSPEL.

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO PLEASE MEN BUT GOD, WHO TESTS OUR HEARTS.

2nd Timothy chap 3 : 16

All Scriptures is GOD-BREATHED and is USEFUL FOR TEACHING, REBUKING, CORRECTING AND TRAINING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, SO THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.

Hebrews chap. 4 : 12-13

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES OF THE HEART.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight.

Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Hebrews chap. 12 : 1-11

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider him who endured such OPPOSITION FROM SINFUL MEN, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons :

"MY SON, DO NOT MAKE LIGHT OF THE LORD'S DISCIPLINE, AND DO NOT LOSE HEART WHEN HE REBUKES YOU,

BECAUSE THE LORD DISCIPLINES THOSE HE LOVES,

AND HE PUNISHES EVERYONE HE ACCEPTS AS A SON."

ENDURE HARDSHIP AS DISCIPLINE; GOD IS TREATING YOU AS SONS.

For what son is not disciplined by his father?

If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), THEN YOU ARE ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN AND NOT TRUE SONS.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it.

HOW MUCH MORE SHOULD WE SUBMIT TO THE FATHER OF OUR SPIRITS AND LIVE !

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; BUT GOD DISCIPLINES US FOR OUR GOOD, THAT WE MAY SHARE IN HIS HOLINESS.

NO DISCIPLINE SEEMS PLEASANT AT THE TIME, BUT PAINFUL.

Later on, HOWEVER, IT PRODUCES A HARVEST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT.

Hebrews chap. 5 : 11-14

We have much to say about this, BUT IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN BECAUSE YOU ARE SLOW TO LEARN.

In fact, though by this time you ought to be TEACHERS, YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TEACH YOU THE ELEMENTARY TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD ALL OVER AGAIN.

You need milk, not solid food!

Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, IS NOT ACQUAINTED WITH THE TEACHING ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS.

BUT SOLID FOOD IS FOR THE MATURE, WHO BY CONSTANT USE HAVE TRAINED THEMSELVES TO DISTINGUISH GOOD FROM EVIL.

James chap. 1 : 2-6

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, WHENEVER YOU FACE TRIALS OF MANY KINDS, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH DEVELOPS PERSEVERANCE.

PERSEVERANCE MUST FINISH ITS WORK SO THAT YOU MAY BE MATURE AND COMPLETE, NOT LACKING ANYTHING.

If any of you LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK GOD, WHO GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL WITHOUT FINDING FAULT, and it will be given to him.

But when he asks, he MUST BELIEVE AND NO DOUBT, BECAUSE HE WHO DOUBTS IS LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA, blown and tossed by the wind.

James chap. 1 : 12-25

Blessed is the man WHO PERSEVERES UNDER TRIAL, BECAUSE WHEN HE HAS STOOD THE TEST, HE WILL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE THAT GOD HAS PROMISED TO THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.

When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me".

FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE TEMPT ANYONE;

But EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN, BY HIS OWN EVIL DESIRE, HE IS DRAGGED AWAY AND ENTICED.

Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full- grown, gives birth to death.

Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.

EVERY GOOD AND PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE, coming down should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about THE RIGHTEOUS life that God desires.

Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.

Do what it says.

Anyone who listens to the word but DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SAYS is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

BUT THE MAN WHO LOOKS INTENTLY INTO THE PERFECT LAW THAT GIVES FREEDOM, WHAT HE HAS HEARD, BUT DOING IT- HE WILL BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.

1 Peter chap. 5 : 6-10

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

Cast all your anxiety on him because HE CARES FOR YOU.

BE SELF-CONTROLLED AND ALERT.

YOUR ENEMY THE DEVIL PROWLS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO DEVOUR.

RESIST HIM, STANDING FIRM IN THE FAITH, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BROTHERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE UNDERGOING THE SAME KIND OF SUFFERINGS.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE, WILL HIMSELF RESTORE YOU AND MAKE YOU STRONG, FIRM AND STEADFAST.

2 Peter chap. 1 : 3-11

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness though our KNOWLEDGE OF HIM who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE DIVINE NATURE AND ESCAPE THE CORRUPTION IN THE WORLD CAUSED BY EVIL DESIRES.

For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith GOODNESS; and to goodness, KNOWLEDGE; and to knowledge, SELF-CONTROL; and to self-control, PERSEVERANCE; and to perseverance, GODLINESS; and to godliness, BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness, LOVE.

For if you possess these qualities IN INCREASING MEASURE, THEY WILL KEEP YOU FROM BEING INEFFECTIVE AND UNPRODUCTIVE IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from HIS PAST SINS.

Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your CALLING AND ELECTION SURE.

For if you do these things, you WILL NEVER FALL, and YOU WILL RECEIVE A RICH WELCOME INTO THE ETERNAL KINGDOM OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.

2 Peter chap. 3 : 1-2

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to STIMULATE YOU TO WHOLESOME THINKING.

I want you to RECALL THE WORDS SPOKEN IN THE PAST BY THE HOLY PROPHETS AND THE COMMAND GIVEN BY OUR LORD AND SAVIOR THROUGH YOUR APOSTLES.

1 John chap. 5 : 14-19

This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ASK ANYTHING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US.

And if we know that he hears us -whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him.

If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life.

I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death.

There is A SIN THAT LEADS TO DEATH. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

ALL WRONGDOING IS SIN, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

We know that ANYONE BORN OF GOD DOES NOT CONTINUE TO SIN; THE ONE WHO WAS BORN OF GOD KEEPS HIM SAFE, and THE EVIL ONE CANNOT HARM HIM.

We know that WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, and that the whole world is under the CONTROL OF THE EVIL ONE.

Philippians chap. 2 : 12-16

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed- not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence- continue to work out your salvation WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING, for it is GOD WHO WORKS IN YOU TO WILL AND TO ACT ACCORDING TO HIS GOOD PURPOSE.

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without FAULT in a crooked and depraved generation, in WHICH YOU SHINE LIKE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE as you HOLD OUT THE WORD OF LIFE- in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not RUN OR LABOR FOR NOTHING.

Ephesians chap. 5 : 8-10

For you were once darkness, BUT NOW YOU ARE LIGHT IN THE LORD.

LIVE AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH) and FIND OUT WHAT PLEASES THE LORD.

Galatians chap. 5 : 16-26

So I say, live by the Spirit, AND YOU WILL NOT GRATIFY THE DESIRES OF THE SINFUL NATURE.

For the SINFUL NATURE DESIRES WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT, AND THE SPIRIT WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE SINFUL NATURE.

THEY ARE IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER, SO THAT YOU DO NOT DO WHAT YOU WANT.

But if you are LED BY THE SPIRIT, YOU ARE NOT UNDER LAW.

The acts of the SINFUL NATURE ARE OBVIOUS: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY AND DEBAUCHERY; IDOLATRY AND WITCHCRAFT; HATRED, DISCORD, JEALOUSY, FITS OF RAGE, SELFISH AMBITION, DISSENSIONS, FACTIONS AND ENVY; DRUNKENNESS, ORGIES, AND THE LIKE.

I WARN YOU, AS I DID BEFORE, THAT THOSE WHO LIVE LIKE THIS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL.

AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus HAVE CRUCIFIED THE SINFUL NATURE WITH ITS PASSIONS AND DESIRES.

Since we live by the Spirit, LET US KEEP IN STEP WITH THE SPIRIT.

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

1 Corinthians chap. 10 : 12-13

So, if you think YOU ARE STANDING FIRM, BE CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T FALL ! NO TEMPTATION HAS SEIZED YOU EXCEPT WHAT IS COMMON TO MAN.

And God is faithful; HE WILL NOT LET YOU BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN BEAR.

BUT WHEN YOU ARE TEMPTED, HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE A WAY OUT SO THAT YOU CAN STAND UP UNDER IT.

The New Testament or the Testament of the Spirit and the Grace of God for his children the spiritual people.

When you decide to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and when you decide with maturity to live according to the Commands of God and Christ; to begin to live as a spiritual person not as a material man, or a man of the flesh. Then you agree to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

It doesn't matter much that it was your moral situation before, the Christ accepts you with hands opened big and all your sins of your past life are forgiven by your faith in Him.

And when you decide to receive Spiritual Baptism, you crucify your past sins and you are reborn as a new creation, and a new person.

And when you receive the Holy Spirit of God either by apposition of hands or by the appeal of the Lord, at this precise moment with the force and the help of the Holy Spirit within the framework of the Pedagogy of God. After your revival, you will begin to metamorphose gradually into a spiritual person.

Not, with your personal force because alone you can not succeed, but with the strength of the Holy Spirit you will manage to be transformed into a spiritual person with a strengthened and stable preparation.

For that reason, God said in advance in the Old Testament:” I would make a New Alliance and My Laws will be registered in your heart because as the flesh is weak I would grant you My Spirit.

In the time of the end, He will pour richly His Spirit on all that belong to Him.

But you have to accept Him with your will and to fight as lions to exceed the tests which you will meet on your road. You have to manage to behave as spiritual son.

The spiritual man is honorable, honest and simple.

The devil also fights you through yourselves and through the others, we have to resist in God's will. These tests, these attacks allow the construction of a strengthened faith, a strengthened spirituality and a strengthened will.

The various tests which we live are to allow to increase gradually towards a true faith. When everything is well, all of us have faith; but when we look towards God, with faith in the difficult moments, then our faith increases and strengthens.

Small faith is to believe in all which exists in the heavens without seeing them, big faith is to succeed to live with all that’s in your heart and in your life.

With the help of the Holy Spirit, we succeed to be winners of the material world and victorious on the flesh because alone we would not succeed.

Suffering is connected since the beginning to the disobedience to observe God's will and also in sin. The reason of the suffering is the cure of the Soul, our heavenly Father allows suffering, not only to punish those that turn away from His Commands but especially to bring us to regret and cure.

Especially in the cure of the Soul, to save us, to strengthen us. After this purpose of suffering, we look towards another useful purpose, which is to strengthen us, to exercise us towards the virtue.

Our heavenly Father and our Christ are the doctors of the human soul, they look towards the superior purpose to transform us into sons and into daughters of God, as spiritual human beings. Their purpose is to increase our integrity, our honesty, our patience, our attentiveness, our wisdom, our love.

The suffering, that the lord allows during His Pedagogy, comes from the heaven and it has beneficial and useful purposes, it transforms us quickly.

The suffering which comes from the world and which is connected to the sin for a long time, kills the human being, the affliction of the world is catastrophic.

The Lord with the strength of the Holy Spirit can help us, if you accept Him and you really want it, you can succeed. You have to hold His Hand firmly because He is the most qualified to transform you because only Him, knows what He has to transform into each of us personally, but also how to make it. He is OUR PERFECT TEACHER.

It is for that reason that it is written in the Bible : " it is not by your acts, but by His Grace.

For that reason, whoever will accept the Pedagogy of God, all the spiritually mature people thank the Lord to have taken charge of their transformation with so much love and patience. The tests which we meet on our road never exceed our own strengths, because God does not allow it. At this moment we glorify our God because we notice our metamorphosis, our senses are sharpened and exercised and our spiritual maturity strengthened.

It is like childbirth until the new man arrives, we suffer and we have many pains, but when the new man arrives, then we forget the suffering quickly, we look only at results and we are infinitely happy.

Furthermore, the Christ is a man of the Spirit, and the New Testament comes from the Spirit that’s the reason, we love God in Spirit and Truth, His Commands are written in our heart and He has given us the Spirit.

It constitutes a very big present of our Father so that we manage to be as the Christ, a part of His brothers, who will have a behaviour as the spirit wants.

The flesh is weak and until we metamorphose in a strengthened spiritual son, our heavenly Father gives us His Grace.

By His Grace which He has granted to us, and due to it our faults are not counted any more.

Every time we stumble in carnal traps because God taught us with the strength of His Holy Spirit which holds our hands, transforms us and strengthens us gradually not to fall in to the carnal trap.

This Grace of God, this Compassion, this expectation for His children always has existed and still exists, of any time our Celestal Father, made everything to return us towards Him, He waits for us, like it is written in the Old and in the New Testament.

He forgives us for everything when we come towards him with an appropriate heart and clean hands..

It is by His Grace, that we succeed, not by our acts, not by our own will or strength, we confide our selves in the hands of our Creator so that He shapes us as He wants. Only with the strength of the Holy Spirit and the Pedagogy of the Lord we succeed, it is necessary to let Him educate us, to teach us, to transform us, by knowing that it is by love that our God pedagogues us usefully and firmly.

But it is necessary to know that He does not like it at all, when a just man, a spiritual man who tasted spiritual food falls in the big sin and forgets His Commands. This kind of man displeases Him enormously like it is written in the Old and in the New Testament.

Because we have decided to make the will of God with all our heart, we see and we notice that the flesh is weak and that it urges us to do exactly the opposite of the Will of Our Lord.

The Grace of God allows us to return every time we stumble towards God and Christ without fear and with a lot of love, and all the time that it is necessary for us to transform into a person of the Spirit strengthened.

But this Grace that God granted to His children is not given to act badly and not to worry when you stumble. It is necessary to fight against the various traps of the weaknesses of the flesh by a great discipline.

So that all we decided on inside, we can see it outside, surely when the others see us. Our acts and our words and all our behaviour must be transformed into spiritual acts, into spiritual words and into a spiritual behaviour.

.

We have to succeed TO HAVE INTEGRITY IN OUR BEHAVIOUR.

When we succeed there, our Father grants us His Blessing, all our house goes well, all our prayers are listened, all our causes are defended, our family lives in God's abundance, and all that it implies for ourselves, for our couple, for our children. God protects His Children and fills their heart with love and wealth, because nothing or anybody can fill you and make you feel as happy as God.

Certain keys which are going to facilitate you concretely in your spiritual fight if you decide and agree to use them.

THE BIG FIGHT TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND THE FLESH, between holy minds and corrupt desires.

All the other sins are outside the flesh, but the sin of the flesh makes only one with our flesh. And our body is God's sanctuary because His Holy Spirit is in us. We have to be one flesh with the Holy Spirit of God.

It is for it, that the sin of the flesh is the most dangerous.

The flesh feeds by our eyes, for it blinds your eyes and you will understand that the food of the flesh and our heart is given with our eyes.

1-st key:

We have to make it a habit to have our eyes under our control. The practice to learn to control our eyes. DISCIPLINE OF OUR LOOK.

We have to look away of all that can damage us and provoke a big problem, to our person, and to others.

2-nd key:

We need to decide and exercise in the practice to go away physically from all, which can be a trap for our spiritual world. DISCIPLINE OF OUR BEHAVIOUR.

Now, I am going to speak for desires of the flesh to the other people.

Desires, envy, passions.

The spiritual man who is married or the bachelor who sees married persons has to learn to turn away their eyes and to go away physically from persons who are married. Especially when the spiritual man suspects feelings to cross him.

This trap is really very severe and very dangerous because the devil uses it for the DESTRUCTION OF THE FAMILY AND THE PSYCOLOGICAL DESTRUCTION OF THE CHILDREN.

Because God is not interested in what crosses us, God is not a God of feelings, God is our fortress, our stone, the Laws of our God do not change as our feelings, they are stable, firm, and reliable, we have to keep firmly at all moments of our lives to do the will of God and to develop resources of our autodiscipline, as the self-controls to be honest with our selves and others, and to look away from the corrupt desires.

We do not have to worry with envy, desires and certain feelings as we feel crossing sometimes, we have to administer these situations as if it was a kind of disease of the flesh. Still one of the ill demonstrations. You have to say to yourself, no, there will not be anything because my spirit, my brain and my heart decided another way for my own life, and it is with these moral choices that I want to live my life in a aware way.

Feel what you want flesh, show what you wish, but know that never I will let you to trap me by your lustful desires of sin. For all that you will make me feel this is my decision for my life. For nothing in the world, I will not make a wrong move, or wrong look nor one step towards what you want, what you wish. MATURE DISCIPLINE DIRECTLY, MATURE AND IMMEDIATE MANAGEMENT OF THE SITUATION.

Because it is not ME who decided what kind of feelings through my flesh, I decided what I wanted, and I hope with all my strength and my maturity on my Rock, on the stable Word of my Father, I do not want the feelings, desires which cross the flesh regularly. I fight against these kind of feelings with severity and strength.

We have to administer discipline when we feel that our flesh wants somebody, as if we were foreign of it, and we control it by our spirit from outside because the wish of our flesh is not in harmony with our mind and we do not accept what it wants to make us to do.

Habit is the solution, it can help us to win, everything is discipline, self-control, self-domination.

Furthermore, if every time that our flesh reacts for somebody, and follow its corrupt desires we would change husband or wife every six months. The desires of the flesh would provoke many damages in our life, instability in loving, instability in our family.

We all have to know that each of us meets and knows the desires of the flesh. Everybody lives with that trouble, it happens with everybody, for summary it is the chemistry of the flesh, but the desire is not love, if you go away, it leaves you, and you do not think of it any more.

In the contrary, love grows day after day, the love for our husband or our wife, our half, the one that takes care of us. That dedicates to us his or her life, these who take care of us every day, real and authentic love which is blessed by God.

And when we leave the person whom we love, we suffer, we have much pain, and we become mad. He or she misses us and we look for him or her in our heart, in this way the real love grows and it is real noble love; desires are superficial in surface, while love is deep and touches us in our heart and our flesh.

Often, we look at the appearance of the other one, but when we know him or her closely and better, we are disappointed, and we go away from him or her because his or her internal self is not right for us.

Anyway, the one who is married and who looks for another person or the one that looks for somebody who is married, are not people with a conscious.

To make a success as a couple, is needed at first the love on behalf of two people, and secondly the most important and stable: a serious behaviour; because if behaviour is harmful, the love will go away quickly and on the contrary if behaviour is constructive then love will increase and bloom (prosper).

DANGERS OF THE USUAL, REGULAR PLACES WHERE WE GO, HOUSES, CHURCHES, SCHOOLS, ROOMS, etc., there, danger is much bigger, there where we meet and see others regularly.

There are three stages.

1-st stage:

Distance of the look and physical estrangement of the person but we continue to go in the same place, and everything goes well.

2-nd stage:

Decision to go out from this place if we surprise our selves looking for a look by another person either by our behaviour, or if we make a step to be closer to the other one or something so that the other one understands our interest for him or her.

We must be very watchful, because in the beginning we are stronger and careful consciously concerned what we do and be mature and honest to our selves. We can after a time return there if we feel rather strong after the estrangement. Big maturity and attentiveness when we return there. If we do not succeed, it's better to stay away from this place.

3-rd stage:

We manage to be natural so no one realizes anything, neither by our look, nor by our behaviour. Because we learned to discipline our carnal nature. We shall speak and we shall behave in a normal way.

In this stage, after time, when we dominate with discipline our flesh, usually we see that our flesh does not show anything more, it does not ask anything and we do not feel anything anymore, as if it calmed down because it understands that nothing more will be given and because we have fought against the flesh, our heart and our brain have recorded clearly the information, so that this problem ends so simply.

Even in this 3-rd stage it can happen, sometimes we feel attracted to other people, and we are weakened, directly act as in the 1-st stage or in the 2-nd stage. Effective management of the situation.

Whatever is the stage on which the spiritual man decides to use according to situations, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS COMPLETELY SATISFIED.

The easiest and the surest road is to use the keys that gives us our Father.

Less we feed our flesh by our eyes and we will react correctly in all the situations, and the Spirit will steers our lives more.

Victory of the Spirit is when we succeed not to authorise any more our selves to feed our flesh with our own eyes, and when we have the strength to go away from every situation which could provoke a problem if we do not go away.

Not only we have to discipline our own look and our own behaviour, but the spiritual man looks after the others and avoids to be the cause that the other one stumbles.

When the spiritual man feels that something happens with somebody, that he does not behave normally, that he does not feel at ease in front of him, that he looks at him strangely, then the spiritual man goes away and shows that he is not interested, by turning his look with strength and determination, and by turning his head, and by taking himself away from the problem immediately.

Every situation has its useful and unique key, we must be watchful concerning which key we have to use.

If we use these keys with maturity, then in all the Churches of the Christ, the spiritual people will shine as suns.

And in the world also, they will be lamps and salt of the world.

And during all the duration of our pedagogy, our practice and our fight against the flesh, our Heavenly Father grants us His Spirit and His Grace. And gradually we get used to behaving in a watchful and spiritual way and win the victory against the flesh, and so the Spirit will win in all our behaviour.

I want to share with you some histories, which can help us.

1-st history:

Prototype of a trainer of wildcats.

One evening, a religious responsible asks a monk how he spent his day.

" As all days, he answered him, I had a lot of work, and if I did not have God's help, my small strengths would not be sufficient. Every day, I have to watch two blackbirds, I have to hold two gazelles, exercise two retrievers, overcome a snake; to be stronger and to discipline a bear and to take care of a patient. "

- " What are you saying, his leader asked him. There are not such works in our ministry. "

- " And nevertheless, I do all this, answered the monk.

- Two blackbirds are my eyes, which I ceaselessly have to watch them so they do not fall on something, which is not authorized.

- Two gazelles are my feet, which I have to steer their steps, if I do not want them to lead me on the road of the evil.

- Two retrievers are my hands, which I must oblige to work and to do good things. - The snake is my tongue, which needs to be in a muzzle several times a day, for not to speak without reason and in a superficial way and to not throw it’s poison against brothers.

- The bear is my heart, that it is necessary for me to master its egoism and its need to glory itself.

- The patient is my body, which is manhandled by my defects and my weaknesses and I have the obligation constantly to watch him for not that it is humbled by the disease of love and passions of the world.

2-nd history:

The butterfly

I observed since a certain time the cocoon of a caterpillar. It is very impressive the time of the construction.

There is a narrow opening on the neck of the cocoon, from which goes outside the perfect insect, so that the cocoon stays in the same state with the one that the insect has inside. It goes without broken threads.

Each can wonder and admire how the insect can go out a small disproportionate hole with the size of the prisoner. Naturally it never goes out without any trouble and difficulty. One thinks that the pressure which the body of the caterpillar receives during the passage of an opening so small is a miracle of the nature, so that the wings can form, which are less evolved during the period of the appearance of the perfect insect.

Accidentally, I was a witness of the first attempts of my caterpillar prisoner to release itself from the long limitation. During all morning, from time to time, I watched it patiently, fight to get out. But it never seemed capable of moving beyond certain point and in the end my patience was annihilated.

Certainly, the threads of the cocoon was dried and less elasticated because the cocoon had not stayed in winter in its normal temperature.

I believed to be wiser and compassionate than His Creator and I decided to give it help. With the point of my scissors, I cut the threads a little to facilitate the exit,

Here we are, in succession and with big ease, my butterfly trotted outside, pulling an enormous body inflated with small crumpled wings.

In vain, I watched to see the supernatural way of exit which silently develops normally quickly in front of our eyes.

And as I paid attention to the fine signs of the various colours, which in miniature existed all there, I quivered to see them taking their normal sizes and that the insect appears with all its perfect beauty, because really it was the most beautiful of its sort. But I looked for anything. My tenderness without wisdom, that I showed, entailed the disaster which took place in front of me.

It was something like a premature childbirth, as a little runt who dragged himself with suffering in this short life whom otherwise it would have it spend by flying in the air with wings which have the colour of the bow in sky.

Very often, I thought about this subject, when with pity eyes, I looked at the others who fought with the suffering, pain and compassion, and I would have been agreeing to shorten their education for their liberation. Which foolish man I was.

How may I know that any of sufferings most aigües or sighs could miss? The love which sees far, the perfect love which looks for the perfection of its creation, is not afraid, it does not show weakness in front of the temporary test.

The Love of our Father is so authentic, that He can not be weak. Because He loves his children, He educates them, corrects them, so that they are associated to His Holiness.

By taking into account this glorious end, God does not feel sorry when He hears the shouts of the provens.

So that they become perfect through their tests, as their Older brother, the sons of God are entailed in the obedience and arrive at the glory by means of many tests.

( Real history concerned a cocoon of mite, but I preferred transposed with the caterpillar and the butterfly, I do not know if transformation comes true in the same way).

¹⁴ The LORD upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
¹⁵ The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
¹⁶ You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
¹⁷ The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made.
¹⁸ The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him with a sincerely heart.
¹⁹ He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
²⁰ The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 9:3-9

9:3 meet not with an harlot, lest thou fall into her snares.

9:4 Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with attempts.

9:5 Gaze not for a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.

9:6 Give not thy soul unto harlots, that thou lose not thine inheritance.

9:7 Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary places thereof.

9:8 Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman; and look not upon another’s beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.

9:9 Sit not at all with another man’s wife, nor sit down with her in thine arms, and spend not thy money with her at the wine; lest thine heart incline unto her, and so through thy desire thou fall into destruction.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 18:30-32

18:30 Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.

18:31 If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.

18:32 Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to the expence thereof.

Ecclesiasticus chapt. 23:2-6

23:2 Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? That they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:

23:3 Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy.

23:4 O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants always a haughty mind.

23:5 Turn away from me vain hopes and concupiscence, and thou shalt hord him up that is desirous always to serve thee.

23:6 Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give not over me thy servant into an impudent mind.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 25:21

25:21 Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 26:9-12

26:09 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eye-lids.

26:10 If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly , lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.

26:11 Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.

26:12 She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her : by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 34 : 16-17

For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from strumbling, and an help from falling.

He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes, he giveth health, life, and blessing.

Ecclesiasticus Chapt 42 : 12

Behold not every body’s beauty , and sit not in the midst of women.

NEW TESTAMENT

Matthew Chapt.5:27-29

5:27 You have heard that it was said. Do not commit adultery.

5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already commited adultery with her in his heart.

5:29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Mark Chapt.10:4-12

10:04 They said, ‘Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away’.

10:05 ‘ It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote yous this law,” Jesus replied.”

10:06 But at the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

10:07 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,

10:08 and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one.

10:09 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”

10:10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this.

10:11 He answered.” Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her.

10:12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”

John Chapt.3 : 5-8

3:5 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and spirit .

3:6 Flesh gives birth to flesh , but the spirit gives birth to the spirit.

3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the spirit.”

John Chapt.4 :23-24

²³Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

²⁴God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

John Chapt. 14:25-26

²⁵"All this I have spoken while still with you.

²⁶But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

John Chapt 15:1-8

¹"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

²He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

³You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

⁴Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
⁵"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

⁶If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

⁷If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.

⁸This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

John Chapt 15:9-10

⁹" As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

¹⁰ If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

John Chapt 16:7-13

⁷But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

⁸When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

⁹in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me;

¹⁰in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer;

¹¹and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
¹²"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.

¹³But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

Acts Chapt.2:38-40

³⁸Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
⁴⁰With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."

Acts Chapt.15:8-9

⁸God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us.

⁹He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith.

Acts Chapt 15:28-29

²⁸ It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements:

²⁹ You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell.

Acts Chapt 19:5-6

⁵On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

⁶When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.

Romans Chapt.1:28-32

²⁸Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

²⁹They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, adultery,evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰ slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

³¹ they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

³² Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Romans Chapt. 2:1-16

¹You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

²Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

³So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?

⁴Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
⁵But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

⁶God "will give to each person according to what he has done."

⁷To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.

⁸But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

⁹There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

¹⁰but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

¹¹For God does not show favoritism.
¹²All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

¹³For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.

¹⁴(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,

¹⁵since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)

¹⁶This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Romans Chapt. 2:17-29

¹⁷Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God;

¹⁸if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law;

¹⁹if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark,

²⁰an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth—

²¹you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

²²You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

²³You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

²⁴As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."
²⁵Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.

²⁶If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?

²⁷The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
²⁸A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.

²⁹No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God.

Romans Chapt.3:31

³¹Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Romans Chapt 5:1-5

¹Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

²through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.

³Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴perseverance, character; and character, hope.

⁵And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans Chapt 5 : 17-19

¹⁷For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
¹⁸Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.

¹⁹For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

Romans Chapt.6:1-13

¹What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?

²By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

³Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

⁴We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
⁵If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

⁶For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—

⁷because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
⁸Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

⁹For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

¹⁰The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
¹¹In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

¹² therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.

¹³ Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.

Romans Chapt. 7:20-24

²⁰Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
²¹So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

²²For in my inner being I delight in God's law;

²³but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.

²⁴What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Romans Chapt.8:1-16

¹ Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

² because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

³ For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,

⁴in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
⁵ Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.

⁶ The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;

⁷the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. ⁸Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
⁹You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

¹⁰But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

¹¹And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
¹²Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.

¹³For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,

¹⁴because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

¹⁵For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

¹⁶The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

Romans Chapt.8: 28-30

²⁸And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,^[1] who have been called according to his purpose.

²⁹For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

³⁰And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Romans Chapt. 10:17

¹⁷Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Romans Chapt. 12:1-2

¹Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.

²Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans Chapt.12:9

⁹Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Romans Chapt.13: 8-10

⁸Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.

⁹The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet,"and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

¹⁰Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Romans Chapt.13:14

¹⁴Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

1 Corinthians Chapt. 5 : 9-13

⁹I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—

¹⁰not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

¹¹But now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.
¹²What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?

¹³God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you."^[

1 Corinthians Chapt. 6 :13-20

¹³"Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

¹⁴By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also.

¹⁵Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

¹⁶Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

¹⁷But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
¹⁸Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

¹⁹Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

²⁰you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

1 Corinthians Chapt. 9 :25-27

²⁵Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. ²⁶Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.

²⁷No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

1 Corinthians Chapt. 10 :12-13

¹²So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!

¹³No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

1 Corinthians Chapt. 15 : 20-22

²⁰But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

²¹For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

²²For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians Chapt. 15 : 45-49

⁴⁵So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being" ; the last Adam, a lifegiving spirit.

⁴⁶The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. ⁴⁷The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. ⁴⁸As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

⁴⁹And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

2 Corinthians Chapt.1 :21-22

²¹Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

²²set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

2 Corinthians Chapt. 3 : 2-8

²You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.

³You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
⁴Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God.

⁵Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

⁶He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
⁷Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, ⁸will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

2 Corinthians Chapt.4: 16-17

¹⁶Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

¹⁷For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

2 Corinthians Chapt. 5:5

⁵Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

2 Corinthians Chapt.6 : 14-18

¹⁴Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

¹⁵What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

¹⁶What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
¹⁷"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
 Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."
¹⁸"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."^[

2 Corinthians Chapt.7: 1

¹Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

2 Corinthians Chapt.7: 8-11

⁸Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it--I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—

⁹yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.

¹⁰Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

¹¹See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Galatians Chapt.5 : 16-25

¹⁶So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

¹⁷For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
¹⁹The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;

²⁰idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions

²¹and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

²⁴Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.

²⁵Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Galatians Chapt.6 : 7-8

⁷Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. ⁸The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Ephesians Chapt.1 : 11-14

¹¹In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

¹²in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

¹³And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

¹⁴who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession--to the praise of his glory.

Ephesians Chapt.1 : 17-18

¹⁷ I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

¹⁸ I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

Ephesians Chapt.3 : 16-19

¹⁶I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

¹⁷so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

¹⁸may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

¹⁹and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians Chapt. 4 : 19-24

¹⁹ Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.
²⁰ You, however, did not come to know Christ that way.

²¹ Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

²² You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;

²³ to be made new in the attitude of your minds;

²⁴ and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

1 Thessalonians Chapt. 4 : 3-8

³It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

⁴that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

⁵not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

⁶and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you.

⁷ For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.

⁸ Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

2 Thessalonians Chapt. 3 : 6

⁶In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.

2 Timothy Chapt. 1 : 6-7

⁶For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

⁷For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

2 Timothy Chapt. 2 : 19-22

¹⁹Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
²⁰In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble.

²¹If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
²²Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Titus Chapt. 3 : 4-8

⁴But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, ⁵he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, ⁷so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. ⁸This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Hebrews Chapt. 10 : 26-39

²⁶If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, ²⁷but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

²⁸Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

²⁹How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

³⁰For we know him who said, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," and again, "The Lord will judge his people."

³¹It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
³²Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering.

³³Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated.

³⁴You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions.
³⁵So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.

³⁶You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

³⁷For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. ³⁸But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back,  I will not be pleased with him."

³⁹But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

Hebrews Chapt. 12 : 3-11

³Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
⁴In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

⁵And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,  and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
⁶because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."
⁷Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?

⁸If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.

⁹Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live!

¹⁰Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.

¹¹No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews Chapt. 13 : 4

⁴Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

James Chapt. 1 : 2-4

²Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

James Chapt. 1 : 22

¹²Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

James Chapt. 1 : 13-16

¹³When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;

¹⁴but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.

¹⁵Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
¹⁶Don't be deceived, my dear brothers.

James Chapt. 1 : 22

²²Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

James Chapt. 2 : 20-26

²⁰You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? ²¹Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar?

²²You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

²³And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend.

²⁴You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
²⁵In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?

²⁶As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

James Chapt. 4 : 4-8

⁴You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

⁵Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?

⁶But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
   "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
⁷Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ⁸Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

1 Peter Chapt. 1 : 3-7

³Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for you, ⁵who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. ⁶In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

⁷These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

1 Peter Chapt. 1 : 13-17

¹³Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

¹⁴As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

¹⁵But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

¹⁶for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."
¹⁷Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.

1 Peter Chapt. 1 : 22-25

²²Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart.

²³For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

²⁴For,  "All men are like grass,  and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
²⁵but the word of the Lord stands forever." And this is the word that was preached to you.

1 Peter Chapt. 2 : 1-6

¹Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.

²Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, ³now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
⁴As you come to him, the living Stone--rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him—

⁵you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁶For in Scripture it says:"See, I lay a stone in Zion,  a chosen and precious cornerstone,  and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

1 Peter Chapt. 2 : 11

¹¹Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.

1 Peter Chapt. 3 : 10-12

¹⁰For,  "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.

¹¹He must turn from evil and do good;  he must seek peace and pursue it.
¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous  and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

1 Peter Chapt. 5: 8-11

⁸Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

⁹Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
¹⁰And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

¹¹To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Peter Chapt. 1 : 4-11

⁴Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
⁵For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

⁶and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

⁷and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

⁸For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
¹⁰Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, ¹¹and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Peter Chapt. 2 : 9-10

⁹if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.

¹⁰This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.

2 Peter Chapt. 2 : 18-22

¹⁸For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error.

¹⁹They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity--for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.

²⁰If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

²¹It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.

²²Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

1 John Chapt.2 : 15-16

¹⁵Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.

1 John Chapt. 5 : 16-17

. ¹⁶If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that.

¹⁷All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.

Hebrews Chapt. 6 : 4-8

⁴It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, ⁵who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, ⁶if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
⁷Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.

⁸But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

Jude Chapt. 1 : 17-20

¹⁷But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.

¹⁸They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires."

¹⁹These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
²⁰But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.

Revelation Chapt. 3 : 14-22

¹⁴"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation.

¹⁵I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!

¹⁶So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot nor cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

¹⁷You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

¹⁸I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

¹⁹Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. ²⁰Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

²¹To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.

²²He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
