200 Miscellaneous Commands from the Bible


       (5 to 11 out of 200)

5

Accuse none falsely

Luke 3:14  

Then some soldiers asked him, “And what should we do?” He replied, “Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely—be content with your pay.”

            6

Add to Christian graces

2 Peter 1:5-7  

5 For this very reason make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge;

6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

            7

Admit unprofitableness

Luke 17:10  

So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’”

8
Admonish one another

Colossians 3:16  

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God
.
            9

Admonish the unity

2 Thessalonians 3:15  

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

            10

Agree with your adversary

Matthew 5:25  

“Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.

            11

Allow no liberty to ensnare you to commit sin

1 Corinthians 10:25-30  

25 Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience,

26 for, “The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.”

27 If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.

28 But if anyone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience’ sake—

29 the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?

30 If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?
