The document discusses signs that someone may be like the Pharisees from the Bible. It suggests that a Pharisee is someone who prides themselves on being better than others, values outward appearances over inward character, and is quick to judge others while overlooking their own faults. A Pharisee also claims to have no sin, believes their own traditions supersede God's word, and looks for loopholes in scripture to justify their desires. Ultimately, a Pharisee's words and actions are hypocritical and do not match. The document uses several Bible passages to support each point.
Daniel 7 records Daniel's prophetic vision of four beasts arising from the sea, representing four kingdoms. The beasts are identified as a lion (Babylon), bear (Medo-Persia), leopard (Greece), and a dreadful beast with iron teeth and 10 horns (Rome). A little horn uproots three of the first horns, representing the antichrist. God holds a judgment where the beasts lose their power and the saints receive the eternal kingdom. The vision troubled Daniel but was interpreted for him.
The document provides an introduction and overview of Paul's letter to the Philippians. It discusses the purpose of presenting Jesus Christ as the source of joy, Paul as the author around 60-62 AD while imprisoned in Rome, and the original audience as the Philippians and early Christians. The outline presents four sections where Paul discusses his circumstances, appealing to have the mind, knowledge, and peace of Christ.
1) Samson was born to save the Israelites from the Philistines, as God had purposed his birth for that reason.
2) Before birth, Samson was set apart as a Nazarite, dedicated entirely to God, refraining from wine and allowing his hair to grow untrimmed.
3) Samson possessed supernatural strength bestowed by God, not mere muscles, though he lost it through disobedience, falling into the hands of Delilah and becoming a spectacle for his enemies.
The document describes the high priestly garments worn by Aaron and the significance of each piece of clothing. It details the ephod, breastplate, mitre, and ordinary priestly garments. It explains how Christ as our high priest fulfills the symbolism of the garments as the sinless, eternal intercessor who offered himself as the final sacrifice.
Hebrews 4:11-13 God's Word: Produces faith, cleanses us, brings reconciliation, tells us how to be saved, blesses us, answers life's questions, solves life's problems, helps us weather life's storms, tells us what is right and wrong, produces fruit in our lives, will judge us.
The resurrection of Jesus is not the first resurrection miracle recorded in the Bible. There is even an “Easter Egg” that points to Resurrection in the oldest written book of the Bible. Do you remember as a kid how there was often a special egg to be found? It was often larger than the others and may have had a special compartment in it. That was the egg with the $20 bill in it or some such treasure. As we look at these resurrection easter eggs we will see what it is that makes Jesus’ Resurrection uniquely greater.

The document discusses the hymn "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" by Charles Wesley and George Whitefield set to music by Felix Mendelssohn. It was based on the account of the angels appearing to the shepherds in Luke 2:8-15 to announce the birth of Jesus. The summary provides analysis of each verse highlighting the key theological messages about Jesus as the incarnate God, Prince of Peace, Savior, and victor over sin who brings light, life, healing and salvation to humanity. It examines the original biblical text and theological meaning behind phrases in the hymn.
Written as a systematic history of Jesus birth death and resurrection. Luke's Gospel was written so that any reader can be certain of the facts of Jesus life. Luke shows the activity of the Holy Spirit preparing the way for the gospel.
Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Pentateuch and covers Moses' speeches to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. Moses reviews Israel's history, exhorts them to obey God's law, and warns of consequences for disobedience. He emphasizes remembering God's faithfulness and love. The book also contains prophecies about Israel's future blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. Moses then dies at age 120 without entering the Promised Land himself due to an earlier act of disobedience.
What motivated Ananias and Sapphira to lie? Have you ever been tempted to lie? Have you ever been tempted to lie for the same reason? What stopped you? Do you think Ananias and Sapphira were truly Christians? Why? What difference does it make how we answer this question?
The document provides an overview and summary of key points from Revelation Chapter 1:
- John receives a revelation from Jesus Christ about events that will soon take place, which he is commanded to write down and send to the 7 churches of Asia.
- John's vision describes Jesus appearing with white hair, fiery eyes, and a voice like rushing waters, holding 7 stars and a sharp two-edged sword from his mouth.
- Jesus identifies himself as the first and last, alive forevermore with the keys of Hell and Death, and commands John to write what he has seen, present and future.
- The 7 stars represent the angels or messengers of the 7 churches, and the 7 candlesticks represent

God commands us to celebrate the atonement each year, which points to the time when Christ will blot away our sins with his blood.
The document provides a timeline and overview of key events in the life of King David based on biblical accounts. It discusses David's anointing as king, his conquest of Jerusalem from the Jebusites, his building of a palace, further victories over the Philistines, his bringing of the Ark of God to Jerusalem, and God's promise to establish David's kingdom forever through his descendants. The summary focuses on the high-level chronology and storyline presented in the document.
This document discusses Jesus' statement that he would build his church. It argues that the church should bear Jesus' name and refers to it as the called-out people of God, not a physical building. The church is described as a united body, referred to in the New Testament as the one church. It is said to be built on a sure foundation and bought with Christ's blood, and will not be overcome by the gates of Hades. The glory, goal, and gain of the church are explained as its enduring nature, bringing people into unity with Christ, and being presented to God as Christ's bride.

The document provides an overview and commentary on the readings for the upcoming Sunday liturgy. It summarizes the first reading from Wisdom 9:13-18a which discusses how humans cannot know or understand God's counsel due to our limited intellects and concerns. It then summarizes the response Psalm 90 which reflects on the brevity of human life and calls on God for wisdom and kindness. Finally, it summarizes the second reading from Philemon 9-10,13-17 which discusses Paul urging Philemon to welcome back Onesimus, his runaway slave, now as a brother in Christ.
10 Attributes of God Lesson 2 SovereigntyJerry Smith
This is a series of ten lessons on the attributes of God. These lessons are not meant for seminary study, but for the everyday believer who wants to gain a practical understanding of the subject for their own personal growth and reading; for small group bible studies, or for teaching in church.
The document summarizes the message to the church in Pergamum in Revelation 2:12-17. It begins by providing historical context about Pergamum as an intellectual and political center.
Jesus commends the church for remaining faithful amidst difficulties, but confronts them because some were following the teaching of Balaam and enticing others toward idolatry.
Jesus offers words of consolation, promising a white stone with a new name to the faithful, referring to the new identity believers have in Christ despite external pressures toward unfaithfulness. The document encourages readers to remain committed to God's word.
Gethsemane: The Place of Crushing_ Mt. 26.31-56Stephen Palm
Gethsemane has been described as “the place of crushing”. It was an olive grove which included an olive press. In our text we will see how Peter, Jesus and the disciples are all crushed in some way, a painful extraction process which propels God’s purposes, nonetheless. We all go through Gethsemane seasons where we are pressed and refined.
The document discusses the anointing of kings in the Old Testament. It describes how Saul, David, and Solomon were each anointed by Samuel or priests to become king. Absalom also had himself anointed during his rebellion against David. The document notes that anointing was the ordinary procedure to make someone king, usually done by a priest or prophet. It then discusses the different types of anointings for believers today - the leper's anointing of salvation, the priestly anointing for ministry, and the kingly anointing of authority over darkness. The leper's anointing comes by faith, the priestly by fellowship, and the kingly by obedience to Jesus.
1. Ruth gleaned grain in the fields of Boaz and gathered an ephah of barley. Boaz showed her kindness and told his workers to leave extra grain for her.
2. Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, praised Boaz for his kindness to Ruth. Boaz was a near kinsman who could redeem Ruth and her deceased husband's property rights.
3. Ruth obeyed Naomi and gleaned with Boaz's servant girls throughout the barley and wheat harvests. Her loyalty to Naomi was shown through her obedience.

Teachers have a great responsibility and blessing, as they will be judged more strictly but also called great in heaven if they teach faithfully. The document outlines the duty of teachers to instruct with wisdom, patience, and sound doctrine on salvation through Christ. It warns of temptations to appeal to pride or desires rather than sound teaching. Teachers must look to purify themselves and their followers as they await Christ, firmly instructing with God's authority.

This document contains a summary of Jesus' teachings on forgiveness, fasting, and storing up treasures in heaven rather than on earth from the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. It also includes additional context and commentary from other biblical passages. The key points are:
1) Jesus teaches that forgiveness is necessary to receive forgiveness from God and that true fasting involves humble prayer rather than outward displays of piety.
2) Fasting is presented as a spiritual discipline that should be accompanied by righteous living, not just physical deprivation.
3) True treasures are spiritual rewards stored in heaven, not earthly possessions that can be lost or stolen. Believers are called to focus on eternal rather than temporal things.

The document discusses several key principles from the book of James. It addresses wisdom, faith, obedience, love, speech, humility, dependence on God, and good order. It emphasizes asking God for wisdom, being doers of the word through obedience in thoughts, emotions and actions, showing love without discrimination, controlling speech, having a humble attitude toward God and others, trusting in God's plan rather than boasting, and maintaining order through biblical eldership, prayer, accountability and correction.
Jesus teaches that what comes out of a person's mouth is more important than external rituals like hand washing. He criticizes the Pharisees for focusing on traditions instead of following God's commandments, giving the example of using financial gifts as an excuse to neglect caring for parents. Jesus says what comes from within a person, such as evil thoughts and sins, are what truly defile a person, not external actions like eating with unwashed hands.
This document discusses Jesus' teachings on giving alms and praying in secret rather than for public recognition. It provides context from the Old and New Testaments on giving to the poor and needy. It also discusses the hypocrisy of the Pharisees who performed religious acts like giving alms and praying publicly just to be seen and praised by others. God sees sincere acts of worship done in private and will reward them openly.

Conclusion Heb 10:25-31
This document discusses focusing one's heart and mind on God rather than worldly concerns like wealth and provisions. It notes that if one's "eye is single" and focused on God, their whole body will be filled with light. However, an evil eye focused on worldly things will lead to darkness. It encourages trusting in God to provide for one's needs, like He provides for the birds, rather than being anxious about life's provisions. It concludes that one cannot serve both God and wealth, so we must decide to serve God alone.
The document discusses the importance of commitment, defining it as entrusting or depositing something valuable to another. It emphasizes being fully committed to following Jesus above all else, even family, and taking up one's cross daily. Several Bible passages are referenced exhorting the importance of obedience, prioritizing God, and remaining steadfast in one's faith. The document suggests that at judgment, God will respond based on the level of one's commitment in this life. It concludes by asking if one wants to commit their life to Jesus.
This document discusses different biblical passages around the topic of judging others. It provides context around when judging is appropriate for Christians and when it is not. The key messages are:
1) Christians should not judge others as unsaved or condemn them for disagreeing on doctrinal standards.
2) They can judge righteous judgment on the fruit or teachings of preachers, and judge issues in their own lives or the church.
3) When judging others, Christians must be careful not to be hypocritical by focusing on others' faults while ignoring their own, and should judge with a spirit of gentleness, humility, and forgiveness.
The document discusses the principle of love, citing several Bible passages. It argues that love is both vertical towards God and horizontal towards neighbors. Love precipitates action, as seen in the Ten Commandments, and is the principle upon which all law and prophets depend. True love transforms one's heart and seeks no injury to others.
The document provides notes and commentary for a Bible study on the 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, summarizing the readings from Leviticus, 1 Corinthians, and Matthew which call Christians to imitate God's holiness by loving neighbors and enemies, forgiving others, and turning the other cheek in response to harm instead of seeking revenge. The readings encourage believers to go above and beyond what is expected of others in showing compassion.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.
“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.
“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’
“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. 11 I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Prayer

This document contains summaries of several Bible passages from Matthew and 1 Corinthians. It begins with Matthew 6:33 which states "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well." It then provides concise summaries of key points from Matthew 6:1-34, Matthew 22:36-40, John 17:13-19, and 1 Corinthians 7:29-35 on topics like prayer, giving, fasting and worrying. Links are also included for related Facebook and website pages on the words of Jesus.
The document is a collection of Bible passages discussing various topics. It begins by summarizing Jesus' parable of the sower, then discusses definitions of love, whether all sins are equal, and why good and bad things happen to both good and bad people. The overall message is that Christianity involves following God's rules out of gratitude for salvation, and that not all sins are equal in severity.
1) Truth is an essential aspect of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. God is described as a God of truth, Christ is the truth and spoke truth, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth.
2) The document outlines many ways that truth is important for both believers and non-believers, including worshipping, serving, and walking with God in truth. It also discusses how truth is related to righteousness, the gospel, and sanctification.
3) In contrast, the wicked are described as lacking truth, not speaking truth, and being punished for their lack of truth.
The document discusses affections and how they should be directed. It says affections should be supremely set on God and also set on following God's commandments, worshipping God, loving God's people, and pursuing heavenly things. Affections should be zealously engaged for God and Christ should have first place. Making God the object of one's affections brings blessedness. True affection for God will not grow cold like it can for the wicked, whose affections are not sincerely set on God. Carnal affections must be mortified while saints have crucified fleshly affections. False teachers try to captivate people through their affections, while the wicked have unnatural and perverted affections.

This document contains a summary of God's questions to Adam and Eve after they sinned and ate the forbidden fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden. It notes that God asked "Where are you?" to get Adam and Eve to confess what they had done. God then asked "Who told you that you were naked?" since they felt shame, and "Have you eaten from the tree I commanded you not to eat from?" God wanted them to acknowledge their disobedience. The summary concludes by stating God ultimately asked "What is this you have done?" to get Adam and Eve to take responsibility for their actions and seek forgiveness.
The document discusses the biblical phrase "calling on the name of the Lord" from Romans 10:13. It explores what this means by looking at other passages. Calling on the Lord's name involves believing, repenting of sins, and being baptized in Jesus' name. It requires hearing the gospel through preaching, and having faith that comes from hearing the Word of God. Paul's conversion experience is used as an example of someone who called on the Lord's name by seeing Christ, believing, fasting, praying, and being baptized to wash away his sins.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit. It states that the Holy Spirit is a being with a specific work, including moving over the waters in Genesis, speaking through prophets, teaching and reminding the disciples of Jesus' words, interceding for believers, and empowering many in the early church with miracles. The Holy Spirit continues to empower believers with joy, peace, and hope.
The document discusses several key aspects of the Holy Spirit:
1) The Holy Spirit indwells believers according to several passages.
2) Speaking against the Holy Spirit is an unforgivable sin according to Jesus, referring to attributing His works to Satan.
3) The gift of the Holy Spirit is received through obedience to the gospel including baptism, sealing believers as children of God.
The document discusses 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 which lists various sins such as idolatry, adultery, theft, drunkenness, and others that will exclude people from God's kingdom. It then lists different ways Satan deceives people about sin and contrasts them with God's truth, such as that nothing is hidden from God, sin leads to death, small sins can corrupt, life is short, evil influences corrupt, sin will be found out, momentary pleasures are not worth eternal damnation, and others should not determine our actions. It concludes by saying some people were sinners but are now washed, sanctified, and justified in Jesus.
This document outlines the full armor of God that Christians are called to put on according to Ephesians 6:10-18. It describes each piece of the armor in more detail: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, sandals of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit. It emphasizes that the armor comes through Christ and calls believers to prayer and exercise in using the armor through enduring hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. The overall message is that believers must equip themselves with God's spiritual armor to stand against attacks from Satan.
Thomas doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he could physically see and touch Jesus' wounds himself. The document then discusses common reasons people give for not believing, such as requiring signs or being impressed by speeches, and argues that Scripture alone is sufficient and faith does not depend on convenience or personal desires. It concludes by noting that rejecting God's word amounts to rejecting God himself.
1) The document discusses how following Christ can lead to disapproval from family members, as even Jesus' own brothers did not initially believe in him.
2) It emphasizes getting priorities straight by putting God first, even above family, and finding one's true family in the body of Christ.
3) It provides tools to equip believers when facing family disapproval, including patience, prayer, trust in God, relying on his word, and showing love.
The document discusses Jesus and what people will do with him. It notes that Jesus is the Son of God, God's final spokesman, the only mediator and savior, and the judge. It then asks if people will ignore Jesus, stumble over him, call him back later, reject him, flatter him, forsake him, or obey him. It concludes by quoting Jesus inviting people to come to him for rest.
The document discusses true worship according to the Bible. It begins by citing John 4:23-24 which states that true worshipers will worship God in spirit and truth. Several elements of true worship are then listed such as having the right attitude, worshiping in God's presence, and doing all things in His name and in spirit. Examples are given of improper attitudes during communion, singing, prayer, giving, and teaching. It emphasizes the importance of worshiping for the right reasons and with the right heart rather than performative or self-focused worship.
- God will judge all people fairly based on His word
- All have sinned and fall short of God's standards, whether they have heard the gospel or not
- There is only one remedy for sin provided by God - faith in Jesus Christ and obedience to His teachings
The document contains a list of things a parent has said to their children, followed by Bible passages. The list includes common parental sayings like "Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to touch it", "Stop playing with your food", "Don't put your turkey on the toilet", "Stay with me", "Because I said so", "Didn't I just teach you?", and "I love you". The Bible passages that follow relate to topics like obedience, discipline, temptation, purity, and God's love.
This document discusses how worrying does not change one's circumstances and that the future is uncertain. It then lists things an individual can control such as their enjoyment of life, work ethic, thoughts, responses to temptation and God. It acknowledges that while some things cannot be changed, one can control their present actions and response to God. The document concludes with a prayer for serenity, courage and wisdom to discern what can and cannot be changed.
The document discusses the identity and role of the Commander referenced in the Bible. It notes that he is not a man or angel based on various passages, but is referred to as the Angel of the Lord. The Commander commands the army of the Lord to fight either for or against people based on their obedience to God. The summary concludes by urging believers to endure hardship as faithful soldiers of Jesus Christ.
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and who they say he is. Simon Peter answers that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus blesses Peter and says this revelation came from God. The document then discusses how as the Son of Man, Jesus was fully human yet called people his brethren, trusted God during temptation and suffering, and faced death to become the author of salvation for all believers.
The document discusses whether God's silence on a matter is permissive or restrictive. It provides several examples from scripture where God's silence was restrictive, such as with the Levitical priesthood, Cain and Abel's sacrifices, and Uzzah touching the ark. The document notes that when God provides a specific command, all other options are ruled out. It argues that truth is narrow and that God has given us all we need through scripture.
This document addresses several biblical questions, providing multiple perspectives on each topic from various scripture passages. It discusses the thief on the cross and whether his salvation shows baptism is unnecessary. It also examines whether Phoebe was truly a deacon based on biblical usage of the Greek word. Additionally, it explores the ethics of euthanasia by considering humanity's role and the value of life according to scripture. Each question is analyzed through comparison of multiple relevant verses.
Luke 17:7-10 discusses how servants should not expect praise or thanks for doing what they are commanded to do, but should instead see themselves as "unprofitable servants" who have simply done their duty. The passage encourages focusing on obedience to God rather than seeking human approval or praise.
This document discusses the purpose and function of local churches according to scripture. It notes that local churches exist for practicality, accountability, support, and functionality based on passages like Acts and Corinthians. It encourages Christians to join themselves to a local congregation, outlines some responsibilities of churches like care of widows and addressing sin, and says churches can cooperate by supporting preachers, sending aid to other congregations, but not independent organizations. It emphasizes the unity of believers under one God.
- Life is brief like a flower that blooms and fades away.
- Death results from sin and separation from God, but Christ offers victory over death through his death and resurrection.
- There are three paths after death - innocence for children, eternal life for the forgiven, or eternal death for the unforgiven.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
2. Matt. 5:20 - 20For I say to you, that unless your
righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter
the kingdom of heaven.
3. You Might Be A Pharisee…
• You’re glad you’re better
than other people
4. Phil. 2:1-11 - 1Therefore if there is any consolation
in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of
the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2fulfill my joy
by being like-minded, having the same love, being
of one accord, of one mind. 3Let nothing be done
through selfish ambition or conceit, but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem others better
than himself. 4Let each of you look out not only for
his own interests, but also for the interests of
others. 5Let this mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus, 6who, being in the form of God, did
not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
5. Phil. 2:1-11 - 7but made Himself of no reputation,
taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in
the likeness of men. 8And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and
became obedient to the point of death, even the
death of the cross. 9Therefore God also has highly
exalted Him and given Him the name which is
above every name, 10that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
6. Eph. 2:8-9 - 8For by grace you have been saved
through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the
gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should
boast.

9. Matt. 6:1-7 - 1 Take heed that ou do ot do our
charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them.
Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in
heaven. 2Therefore, when you do a charitable
deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the
hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,
that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say
to you, they have their reward. 3But when you do a
charitable deed, do not let your left hand know
what your right hand is doing, 4that your charitable
deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in
secret will Himself reward you openly.
10. Matt. 6:1-7 - 5 A d he ou pra , ou shall ot e
like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing
in the synagogues and on the corners of the
streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I
say to you, they have their reward. 6But you, when
you pray, go into your room, and when you have
shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the
secret place; and your Father who sees in secret
will reward you openly. 7And when you pray, do not
use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they
think that they will be heard for their many words.
11. Matt. 6:16-18 - 16 Moreo er, he ou fast, do ot
be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For
they disfigure their faces that they may appear to
men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they
have their reward. 17But you, when you fast, anoint
your head and wash your face, 18so that you do not
appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father
who is in the secret place; and your Father who
sees in secret will reward you openly.
12. Matt. 23:5-7 - 5But all their works they do to be
seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad
and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6They
love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the
synagogues, 7greetings in the marketplaces, and to
e alled e , ‘a i, ‘a i.
13. Matt. 23:23-24 - 23 Woe to ou, s ri es a d
Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint
and anise and cummin, and have neglected the
weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and
faith. These you ought to have done, without
leaving the others undone. 24Blind guides, who
strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

• You are quick to judge
others but blind to your

16. Matt. 7:1-5 - 1 Judge ot, that ou e ot judged.
2For with what judgment you judge, you will be
judged; and with the measure you use, it will be
measured back to you. 3And why do you look at the
spe k i our rother s e e, ut do ot o sider
the plank in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to
our rother, Let e re o e the spe k fro our
e e ; a d look, a pla k is in your own eye?
5Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own
eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the
spe k fro our rother s e e.
17. Rom. 2:1-3 - 1Therefore you are inexcusable, O
man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever
you judge another you condemn yourself; for you
who judge practice the same things. 2But we know
that the judgment of God is according to truth
against those who practice such things. 3And do
you think this, O man, you who judge those
practicing such things, and doing the same, that
you will escape the judgment of God?

20. Luke 18:9-14 - 9Also He spoke this parable to some
who trusted in themselves that they were
righteous, and despised others: 10 T o e e t
up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the
other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood and
pra ed thus ith hi self, God, I tha k You that I
am not like other men—extortioners, unjust,
adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12I fast
t i e a eek; I gi e tithes of all that I possess.
13And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not
so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his
reast, sa i g, God, e er iful to e a si er!
21. Luke 18:9-14 - 14I tell you, this man went down to
his house justified rather than the other; for
everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and
he ho hu les hi self ill e e alted.
22. 1 John 1:8-9 - 8If we say that we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.

were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 2 Wh
do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? For they do not wash their hands when
the eat read. 3He answered and said to them,
Wh do ou also tra sgress the o a d e t of

26. Matt. 15:1-9 - 6then he need not honor his father
or other. Thus ou ha e ade the
commandment of God of no effect by your
tradition. 7Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy
about you, saying: 8 These people dra ear to Me
with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but
their heart is far from Me. 9And in vain they
worship Me, teaching as doctrines the
o a d e ts of e .
27. 2 John 9 - 9Whoever transgresses and does not

the Father and the Son.

31. Matt. 19:3-9 - 8He said to the , Moses, e ause

altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift
that is on it, he is obliged to perform it. 19Fools and
blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that

the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. 21He
who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him
