Bible verses about "practical christian living" | RYLT

¹² See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God, ¹³ but exhort you one another every day, while the To-day is called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of the sin, ¹⁴ for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast, ¹⁵ in its being said, 'To-day, if His voice you may hear, you may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,' ¹⁶ for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did come out of Egypt through Moses; ¹⁷ but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? ¹⁸ and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His rest, except to those who did not believe? -- ¹⁹ and we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

¹ James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail! ² All joy count it, my brethren, when you may fall into temptations manifold; ³ knowing that the proof of your faith does work endurance, ⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking; ⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him; ⁶ and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting has been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed, ⁷ for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord -- ⁸ a two-souled man is unstable in all his ways. ⁹ And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation, ¹⁰ and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away; ¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away! ¹² Happy the man who does endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him. ¹³ Let no one say, being tempted -- 'From God I am tempted,' for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself does tempt no one, ¹⁴ and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed, ¹⁵ afterward the desire having conceived, does give birth to sin, and the sin having been perfected, does bring forth death. ¹⁶ Be not led astray, my brethren beloved; ¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning; ¹⁸ having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth, for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures. ¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, ²⁰ for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God does not work; ²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls; ²² and become you doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, ²³ because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror, ²⁴ for he did view himself, and has gone away, and immediately he did forget of what kind he was; ²⁵ and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy in his doing. ²⁶ If any one does think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion; ²⁷ religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.

³⁸ and Peter said unto them, 'Reform, and be baptized each of you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,

¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright\'7bcorrection\'7d, for instruction that is in righteousness,

¹⁵ Love not you the world, nor the things in the world; if any one does love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

³³ but seek you first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

² and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what is the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
