¹¹ Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

¹² The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.

²⁰ Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

⁶ Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

¹⁵ Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise you.

¹⁷ Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

²¹ What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

¹⁷ "'You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

⁵ holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Turn away from these, also.

² preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.

¹⁰ If anyone comes to you, and doesn't bring this teaching, don't receive him into your house, and don't welcome him,

¹¹ for he who welcomes him participates in his evil works.

⁴ I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

¹⁴ If any man doesn't obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

⁸ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

¹⁴ Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?

¹⁵ What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?

¹⁶ What agreement has a temple of God with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, "I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people."

¹⁷ Therefore, "'Come out from among them, And be separate,' says the Lord, 'Touch no unclean thing. I will receive you.

¹⁸ I will be to you a Father. You will be to me sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."

⁹ I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

¹⁰ yet not at all meaning with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then you would have to leave the world.

¹¹ But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. Don't even eat with such a person.

²⁰ But I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God, and I don't desire that you would have communion with demons.

²¹ You can't both drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can't both partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.

²² that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.

⁵ constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

⁴ I have not sat with deceitful men, Neither will I go in with hypocrites.

⁵ I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And will not sit with the wicked.

²² Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²³ and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

²⁴ Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁶ For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

²⁷ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

²⁸ Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

³⁰ backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

³² who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

¹⁹ This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

²⁰ For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed.

²¹ But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God."

¹⁹ but Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's{TR reads "brother Philip's instead of brother's"} wife, and for all the evil things which Herod had done,

¹⁶ To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. Behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes to all that are with you. In front of all you are vindicated."

¹³ "These are of those who rebel against the light; They don't know the ways of it, Nor abide in the paths of it.

¹⁴ The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.

¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye shall see me.' He disguises his face.

¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don't know the light.

¹⁷ For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

¹ Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

² But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night.

²⁰ Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, Which brings about mischief by statute?

²¹ They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood.

⁵ Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; Don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

³¹ Therefore they will eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own schemes.

¹⁴ Don't enter into the path of the wicked. Don't walk in the way of evil men.

¹⁵ Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on.

⁶ Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding."

⁷ He who corrects a mocker invites insult. He who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.

⁸ Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

¹⁸ Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, But he who heeds correction shall be honored.

¹² A scoffer doesn't love to be reproved; He will not go to the wise.

¹⁵ "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

¹⁷ I didn't sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.

²¹ that make a man an offender in [his] cause, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just with a thing of nothing.

¹⁰ Tell the righteous "Good!" For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.

¹¹ Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; For the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him.

¹ He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck Will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

¹² As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

²⁵ Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

⁷ Therefore don't be partakers with them.

⁵ "Simeon and Levi are brothers; Weapons of violence are their swords.

⁶ My soul, don't come into their council; My glory, don't be united to their assembly; For in their anger they killed a man, In their self-will they hamstrung an ox.

⁷ Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; And their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, Scatter them in Israel.
