Believer and Disciple of Jesus



To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but a blessing instead for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. ... Who is the one who will harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation and do not be troubled but sanctify Christ as master in your hearts, always ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. For it is better, if it is God's will, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong. ... In this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign; but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Peter 1 Peter 3-4

Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith.

Paul 1 Timothy 6

"Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."

Jesus Luke 1
