Bible verses about "defiance" | YLT

¹ He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually, ² He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,' ³ For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a calamitous pestilence. ⁴ With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings thou dost trust, A shield and buckler is His truth. ⁵ Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth by day, ⁶ Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of destruction that destroyeth at noon, ⁷ There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh. ⁸ But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the wicked thou seest,
⁹ (For Thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge,) The Most High thou madest thy habitation. ¹⁰ Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near thy tent, ¹¹ For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in all thy ways, ¹² On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a stone thy foot. ¹³ On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion and dragon. ¹⁴ Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him—I set him on high, Because he hath known My name. ¹⁵ He doth call Me, and I answer him, I am with him in distress, I deliver him, and honour him. ¹⁶ With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look on My salvation!

⁷ Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow—that also he shall reap, ⁸ because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap life age-during; ⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap—not desponding;

³ for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome; ⁴ because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world—our faith; ⁵ who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

¹² teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

¹⁶ every Writing is God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that is in righteousness,

¹⁵ for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner—apart from sin;

¹⁴ and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away and enticed,

¹ The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is righteous; ² honour thy father and mother, ³ which is the first command with a promise, `That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the land.' ⁴ And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them in the instruction and admonition of the Lord. ⁵ The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the Christ; ⁶ not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the Christ, doing the will of God out of soul, ⁷ with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men, ⁸ having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman. ⁹ And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him.
¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; ¹¹ put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to stand against the wiles of the devil, ¹² because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the authorities, with the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual things of the evil in the heavenly places; ¹³ because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things having done—to stand. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth, and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, ¹⁵ and having the feet shod in the preparation of the good-news of the peace; ¹⁶ above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to quench, ¹⁷ and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the saying of God, ¹⁸ through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
¹⁹ and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may speak freely—as it behoveth me to speak. ²¹ And that ye may know—ye also—the things concerning me—what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord, ²² whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your hearts. ²³ Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! ²⁴ The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ—undecayingly! Amen.

²⁴ Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending, ²⁵ And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired. ²⁶ I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh, ²⁷ When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress. ²⁸ Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not. ²⁹ Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen. ³⁰ They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof, ³¹ And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own counsels they are filled. ³² For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the security of the foolish destroyeth them. ³³ And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And is quiet from fear of evil!'

¹⁷ to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is to him.

²⁰ the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord;

¹ Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for there is no authority except from God, and the authorities existing are appointed by God, ² so that he who is setting himself against the authority, against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to themselves shall receive judgment. ³ For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have praise from it, ⁴ for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. ⁵ Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, ⁶ for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of God they are, on this very thing attending continually;
⁷ render, therefore, to all their dues; to whom tribute, the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the fear; to whom honour, the honour. ⁸ To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other—law he hath fulfilled, ⁹ for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself;' ¹⁰ the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law.
¹¹ And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already is to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer is our salvation than when we did believe; ¹² the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light; ¹³ as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses, not in strife and emulation; ¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought—for desires.
