²³ You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God?

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

⁸ Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

¹⁵ not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

¹⁸ For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;

¹⁶ These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts (and their mouth speaks proud things), showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

⁷ In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the foreigner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.

¹⁰ and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.

¹⁸ If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and, though they chasten him, will not listen to them;

¹⁹ then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;

²⁰ and they shall tell the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

²¹ All the men of his city shall stone him to death with stones: so shall you put away the evil from the midst of you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

³⁹ Thus were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.

³⁶ But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death."

²³ The north wind brings forth rain: So a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

¹⁷ The eye that mocks at his father, And scorns obedience to his mother: The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, The young eagles shall eat it.
