| 1 Corinthians 13:4 4 Love endures long, and is patient and kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, and is not puffed up in pride, | Psalms 5:5 5 The boastful shall not stand in your sight; you hate all workers of iniquity. | 1 Timothy 2:9 9 Also, that women adorn themselves in proper, moderate apparel [not extravagant, flashy, or brassy], with modesty and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothing; 3 | 1 Peter 4:3 3 For the time that is past is sufficient for us to have done what the Gentiles do, when we walked in sensuality, lusts, excess of wine, reveling [partying], banqueting, and abominable idolatries [wanting anything — covetousness]. [From the Word of the Lord within: "Modesty: be modest in all things."] | Romans 13:13 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in revelry [partying] and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and excess, not in strife and envying. [From the Word of the Lord within: "Everyone, make it your ambition to lead a quiet and peaceful life. Have nothing to do with the evils of society. Everyone should put away what they are doing for the sake of righteousness. You do not have to go to Him to end your social life."] | Ezekiel 16:49 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, overabundance of food, and much idleness1 were hers and her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. | Ephesians 5:18 18 And do not get drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; [To be filled with the Spirit is have your thoughts, words, actions controlled by the Spirit; which is contrary to the current Pentecostal movement of drunkenness, revelry, screaming, shouting, foolishness, collapsing, twitching, jerking, or uncontrolled laughter — all of which evidence fruits of the flesh and are the opposite of self-control, peace, and gentleness, which are fruits of the Holy Spirit. Regarding false prophets, Jesus told us: "you will know them by their fruits;" do not be misled.] | |||
