Bible verses about "standards" | MLV

Paul, bondservant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good-news of God, ² which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, ³ concerning his Son, (who was born from the seed of David according to the flesh, ⁴ who has been determined as being the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of holiness, out of the resurrection of the dead), Jesus Christ our Lord. ⁵ Through whom, we received grace and apostleship, into the obedience of the faith in all the nations, on behalf of his name; ⁶ among whom you are also called of Jesus Christ. ⁷ To all those who are in Rome, beloved of God, called holy-ones: grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁸ First indeed, I am giving-thanks to my God through Jesus Christ on behalf of all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world. ⁹ For God is my witness, to whom I am giving-divine service in my spirit in the good-news of his Son, as I constantly make a remembrance of you. ¹⁰ I beseech God always in my prayers, if somehow now, I will be prospered in the will of God to come to you someday, ¹¹ for I am longing to see you, in order that I may give to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established; ¹² and this is my prayer to be encouraged together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. ¹³ Now brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant that I often purposed to come to you (and I was prevented till presently), in order that I might also have some fruit among you, just-as among the rest of the Gentiles. ¹⁴ I am a debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. ¹⁵ So, as in me, I am eager to proclaim the good-news to you also who are in Rome.
¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the good-news of the Christ; for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes; both to the Jew first and to the Greek. ¹⁷ For the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to
¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men and upon those holding back the truth in unrighteousness; ¹⁹ because what is known of God is apparent among them; for God manifested it to them. ²⁰ For the invisible things of him are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity; that they may be without defense; ²¹ because having known God, they did not glorify him as God, nor gave-thanks, but became-futile in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding. ²² They were foolish, claiming to be wise, ²³ and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and of four footed mammals and of reptiles.
²⁴ Hence also, God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts into uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves. ²⁵ They exchanged the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and gave-divine service to the created thing contrary to the one who created it, who is gracious forever. Amen.
²⁶ Because of this, God gave them up to passions of dishonor; for even their females exchanged the natural use into what is contrary to anything natural; ²⁷ and the males also likewise, having left the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working forth indecency and receiving in themselves the recompense which was essential from their error.
²⁸ And just-as they did not approve to have God in their full knowledge, God gave them up to an unapproved mind, to do those things which are not proper. ²⁹ They have been filled with all: unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, malice; full of: envy, murder, strife, treachery, maliciousness. They are: malicious whisperers, ³⁰ slandering, spiteful to God, insolent, haughty, braggarts, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, cold-hearted, implacable and unmerciful. ³² Who, having fully known the ordinance of God, (that those practicing such things are worthy of death), are not only practicing the same things, but also are consenting with those who are practicing the same things.

⁹ Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not be inheriting the kingdom of God? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor pedophiles, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor the greedy ones, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will be inheriting the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of you were these, but you were fully-washed, but you were made holy, but you were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus and in the Spirit of our God.

²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; he created them male and female.

¹⁹ You* will keep my statutes. You will not let your cattle engender with a diverse kind. You will not sow your field with two kinds of seed, neither will there come upon you a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.

¹⁶ All Scripture is God breathed and is profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for education which is in righteousness,

²⁴ No one is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and will love the other; or he will hold to one and will despise the other. You are not able to serve God and ^{F} money.

²⁴ God is a Spirit, and it is essential for those who are worshiping him to worship in spirit and truth.

¹⁷ in order that the man of God may be equipped, having been utterly equipped for every good work.
