For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Behold, I have told you before.

Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears.

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

Therefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.

I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

For do I now seek the favor of men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; you are fallen from grace.

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

In which you also once walked, when you lived in them.

That no man transgress and wrong his brother in any matter: because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his Holy Spirit.

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are idle, encourage the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise you.

Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen him, neither known him.

He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Again, When a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

A reproof enters more into a wise man than a hundred stripes into a fool.

But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed.

And the other Jews joined likewise with him; so that Barnabas also was carried away with their hypocrisy.

Let him know, that he who converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turns not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you.
