Bible verses about "unbelievers" | Thomson

³⁰ In answer to which Jesus said, A certain man from Jerusalem was going down to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who having stripped him, and wounded him, went off, leaving him half dead. ³¹ And accidentally a certain priest went down that way, who saw him and passed on over against him. ³² And in like manner, a Levite coming to the place, when he came and saw him, passed him by. ³³ But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion ³⁴ and went up to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring thereon oil and wine. Then having set him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him. ³⁵ And the next morning, when he was departing, he took out two deniars, and gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, Take care of this man: and whatever thou expendest more, I will pay thee when I return. ³⁶ Now, which of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour to him who fell among the robbers? ³⁷ The expounder of the law said, He who did him the act of kindness. Thereupon Jesus said to him, Go thou, and do in like manner.

¹⁵ If you love me keep my commandments,

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but have everlasting life.

²³ For die wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.

²⁰ for his invisible attributes, both his eternal power and divine majesty, being thought upon, are from the creation of the world clearly discoverable by the things made, so that they are without excuse

⁴ For it is a minister of God for good to thee. But if thou dost evil, be in dread; for it wieldeth not the sword in vain. For it is a minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath on him who doth evil.

¹ I now, brethren, remind you in what terms I proclaimed the gospel which I proclaimed to you, and which you received, and in which you have continued, ² and by which also you are saved, if you strictly adhere to it, unless indeed you believed in vain. ³ For I delivered to you, as one of the principal things, that which I actually received, that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried; and that he was raised up the third day according to the scriptures; ⁵ and that he was seen by Cephas, then, by the twelve; ⁶ after that he was seen by above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater number are even now alive, but some indeed are composed to rest; ⁷ after that he was seen by James, then by all the apostles; ⁸ and, last of all, he was seen also by me, who am as it were one born out of due time; ⁹ for I am the very least of the apostles, and am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the congregation of God. ¹⁰ But by the favour of God I am what I am; and this favour of his which reached me was not fruitless; but I have laboured more than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. ¹¹ Whether therefore I or they laboured, thus do we proclaim, and thus you have believed. ¹² Now, if Christ be proclaimed, that he hath been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? ¹³ If there is indeed no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not raised. ¹⁴ And if Christ hath not been raised, our proclamation is vain, and your belief is also vain. ¹⁵ And we are found to be actually false witnesses of God; because we have testified concerning God, that he hath raised the Christ, whom he hath not raised, if indeed the dead are not raised. ¹⁶ For if the dead are not raised, then Christ was not raised. ¹⁷ And if Christ hath not been raised, your belief is vain; you are still in your sins; ¹⁸ and consequently they, who have been composed to rest in Christ, have perished. ¹⁹ If we have hope in Christ in this life only, we, of all men, are most to be pitied. ²⁰ But now Christ hath been raised from the dead. He was the first fruits of them who have been composed to rest. ²¹ For since by man came death, by man also cometh a resurrection of the dead. ²² For as by Adam all die, so by the Christ all shall be brought to life: ²³ but every one in his proper order; Christ the first fruits; then they who belong to Christ, at his coming: ²⁴ then the end, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God the father, when he shall have put a stop to all empire and all authority, and all power. ²⁵ For he must reign until he hath put all the enemies under his feet. ²⁶ The last enemy, death, is to be destroyed: ²⁷ for he hath put all under his feet. "But when it is said, That all are subjected; it is evident that there is an exception of him who subjected the all to him; ²⁸ and when the all are subjected to him, then will the Son himself also be subjected to him who subjected the all to him that God may be the all in all. ²⁹ This being the case what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If they who are altogether dead are not raised up, why are they then baptized for the dead? ³⁰ and why are we every hour incurring danger ³¹ I dying daily? I swear by that boasting of yours" [meaning that which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord] ³² "if I as a man had fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is that to me if the dead are not raised up? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we die." ³³ Be not led astray; "good morals are debauched by talk profane." ³⁴ Be righteously sober and sin not. For some have not a knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. ³⁵ But a certain person will say, How are the dead raised, and with what sort of a body do they come? ³⁶ Simpleton! that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened unless it dieth. ³⁷ And as to what thou sowest, thou sowest not the body which is to be, but a bare grain, for instance, of wheat, or of any other seeds: ³⁸ and God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every of the seeds its own peculiar body. ³⁹ All flesh is not of the same sort; but there is one sort of flesh peculiar to men; another to beasts, and another to fishes, and another to birds. ⁴⁰ There are also celestial bodies, and terrestrial bodies. But the glory of the celestial is of one sort, and the glory of the terrestrial, of another. ⁴¹ The glory of the sun is of one kind; and the glory of the moon, of another; and the glory of the stars is different: One star differeth from another in glory. ⁴² Thus it is also with respect to the resurrection of the dead. That which is sown, is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption; ⁴³ it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: ⁴⁴ it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is an animal body; and there is a spiritual body. ⁴⁵ Thus also it is written, "The first man Adam was made a living soul." The latter Adam is a quickening spirit. ⁴⁶ The spiritual was not first, but the animal; then the spiritual. ⁴⁷ The first man from the earth was earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. ⁴⁸ As the earthy was, such also are they who are earthy. And as the heavenly is, such shall they be who are heavenly. ⁴⁹ And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. ⁵⁰ Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor can corruption inherit incorruption. ⁵¹ Behold I tell you a secret: We shall not all be composed to rest; but we shall all be changed ⁵² in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet, for it will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruptibility; and this mortal must put on immortality. ⁵⁴ Now when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility; and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then will be brought to pass the word which is written, "Death is completely swallowed up." ⁵⁵ O death where is thy sting? Where thy victory, O grave? ⁵⁶ Sin is indeed the sting of death; And the law is the strength of sin: ⁵⁷ But thanks be to God who gives us the victory Through our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁵⁸ So then, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, immoveable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, for as much as you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.

¹ Now, with respect to the collection which is for the saints, as I have directed in the congregations of Galatia, so do ye also. ² Every first day of the week, let every one of you lay by him, and put into a common treasury, what he can conveniently; that when I come there may be no collection then made. ³ And when I come, whomsoever you approve, them I will despatch with letters to carry your bounty to Jerusalem. ⁴ And if it be thought proper that I myself should go, they shall go with me. ⁵ Now I will come to you when I have passed through Macedonia, [for I am going through Macedonia] ⁶ and perhaps I may continue with you some time, or even spend the winter, that you may forward me on in whatever journey I may take. ⁷ For I do not wish to see you now on my way, but hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permit. ⁸ But I will stay at Ephesus until the pentecost, ⁹ for a great and effectual door is opened for me, though there are many opposers. ¹⁰ Now when Timothy comes to you, see that he be with you without fear; for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I myself do. ¹¹ Therefore let none despise him; but forward him on in peace, that he may come to me; for I wait for him with the brethren. ¹² Now with respect to Apollos the brother, I importuned him much to go to you with the brethren. Though upon the whole it was not his will to go now, yet he will go when there shall be a favourable opportunity. ¹³ Watch; stand firm in the faith; acquit yourselves like men; be strong; ¹⁴ let all your affairs be transacted with love. ¹⁵ And I intreat you, brethren, [you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the first fruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the service of the saints;] ¹⁶ that you submit yourselves to such, and to every fellow worker and labourer. ¹⁷ Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because they have supplied to the full what was wanting on your part. ¹⁸ For they have quieted my spirit as well as yours. Have regard therefore to such as these. ¹⁹ The congregations of Asia salute you. Aquilas, and Priscilla; and the congregation at their house, salute you with much affection in the Lord. ²⁰ All the brethren salute you. Salute ye one another with a holy kiss. ²¹ The salutation of me Paul with my own hand ²² If any one loveth not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be an Anathema. Maranatha. ²³ The favour of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ²⁴ My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

⁸ but the cowards and the unbelieving and abominable and murderers and prostitutes, and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.

¹² Take heed, brethren, that there be not in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

⁴ with which the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the disbelieving, that the splendour of the glad tidings of the glory of the Christ, who is an image of God, may not shine upon them.

²⁰ For the posterity of an evil one cannot continue; and the lamp of the wicked shall be extinguished.

⁸ Now if any one doth not provide for his own, and especially for those of his family, he hath renounced his belief, and is worse than an infidel.

¹⁴ Form no associations with unbelievers; for what fellowship is there between righteousness and unrighteousness? What communion hath light with darkness?

¹⁸ They having their understandings darkened, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the blindness of their heart,

⁹ I wrote to you in that letter not to associate with fornicators, ¹⁰ not including in general the fornicators of this world, nor those who are immoderate in their desires, or rapacious, or idolaters; since in that case you must needs have gone out of the world. ¹¹ But this is what I now write to you, that if any one named a brother, be a fornicator, or one who gratifieth immoderate desires, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, you are not to associate; no, nor eat with such a one. ¹² For what have I to do with passing sentence on those who are without? Is not this the case? On those within you are to pass sentence, ¹³ and God will pass sentence on those without. Therefore remove the wicked person from among yourselves.

¹⁴ Form no associations with unbelievers; for what fellowship is there between righteousness and unrighteousness? What communion hath light with darkness? ¹⁵ What concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? ¹⁶ And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God hath said, "Because I will dwell among them and walk about among them, and will be their God, and they shall be my people; ¹⁷ therefore come out from among them and separate yourselves, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you, ¹⁸ and be to you a father, and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
