2 Corinthians 10:2

  • Gal 5:16-25 : 16 Then I say, Walke in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would. 18 And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not vnder the Lawe. 19 Moreouer the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are adulterie, fornication, vncleannes, wantonnes, 20 Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies, 21 Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of God. 22 But the fruite of the Spirit is loue, ioye, peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, fayth, 23 Meekenesse, temperancie: against such there is no lawe. 24 For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes. 25 If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit.

God knoweth. 12 But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce. 13 For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.

But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying. 20 For I feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying, wrath, contentions, backebitings, whisperings, swellings and discord.
