for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and [Mammon].
Luke 16:13 (BSB)
No one can serve two masters.
Either you will hate the one and love the other,
or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money.
Luke 16:13 (NIV)
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (NIV) Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers.
How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness?
How can light live with darkness?
What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil?
How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (NLT)
Those who live according to the flesh
set their minds on the things of the flesh;
but those who live according to the Spirit
set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
The mind of the flesh is death,
but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,
because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God:
It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:5-8 (BSB) Therefore, dear brothers and sisters,
you have no obligation to do
what your sinful nature urges you to do.
For if you live by its dictates, you will die.
But if through the power of the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature,
you will live.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God
are children of God.
Romans 8:12-14 (NLT)
If someone claims, “I know God,”
but doesn’t obey God’s commandments,
that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
1 John 2:4 (NLT) You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain,
for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished
who takes His name in vain.
Exodus 20:7 (BSB)
You must not swear falsely by My name
and so profane the name of your God.
I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:12 (BSB) “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name,” replied the LORD.
“I did not send them or appoint them or speak to them.
They are prophesying to you a false vision,
a worthless divination,
the futility and delusion of their own minds."
Jeremiah 14:14 (BSB)
Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time.
After that, have nothing to do with them.
You may be sure that such people are warped and sinful;
they are self-condemned.
Titus 3:10-11 (NIV) Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor,
but their intentions are not good.
They are trying to shut you off from me
so that you will pay attention only to them.
Galatians 4:17 (NLT)
