The
harbouring of unlawful desire is divinely reckoned as guilty action.
It is forbidden |
|

have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.' But I
tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has
already committed adultery with her in his heart. |

|
Mortify,
therefore, or hold in subjection, your members which are upon earth |

3 : 5 |
Put to
death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed,
which is idolatry. |

Those
who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. |

beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have
preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the
prize. |

Remove
all causes of spiritual stumbling, or hindrance from your path, even
at the risk of pain and loss |
|
|
| Matt
5 : 29 |
If your
right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for
your whole body to be thrown into hell. |
|
| Heb
12 : 1 |
Therefore,
since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses,
let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so
easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race
marked out for us. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (76) |

Let
your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt; let no filthy
communication proceed out of your mouth, but sound speech, with
gravity, and sincerity and simplicity |
|
|
| Matt
5 : 37 |
Simply
let your `Yes' be `Yes', and your `No', `No'; anything beyond
this comes from the evil one. |
|
| Eph
4 : 29 |
Do not
let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only
what is helpful for building others up according to their
needs, that it may benefit those who listen. |
|
Col
3 : 8,
4 : 6 |
But now
you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger,
rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips.
Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with
salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. |
|
| Tit
2 : 7-8 |
In
everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your
teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech
that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be
ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (77) |
|
if
any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God |
|
|
| 1
Pet 4 : 11 |
If
anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words
of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength
God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through
Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and
ever. Amen. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (78) |

Speak
every man truth with his neighbour; lie not one to another |
|
|
| Eph
4 : 25 |
Therefore
each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his
neighbour, for we are all members of one body. |
|
| Col
3 : 9 |
Do not
lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with
its practices |

|
Swear
not at all: let your communication be yea, yea, and nay, nay |
|
|
| Matt
5 : 34-35 |
[Jesus
said] But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven,
for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his
footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great
King |
|
| Jas
5 : 12 |
Above
all, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or
by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your
"No", no, or you will be condemned. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (80) |
|
Out
of the same mouth ought not to proceed blessing and cursing |
|
|

the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this
should not be. |
