and have aput on the new self who is being brenewed to a true knowledge caccording to the image of the One who dcreated him--a renewal in which athere is no distinction between Greek and Jew, bcircumcised and uncircumcised, cbarbarian, Scythian, dslave and freeman, but eChrist is all, and in all.So, as those who have been achosen of God, holy and beloved, bput on a cheart of compassion, kindness, dhumility, gentleness and epatience;abearing with one another, and bforgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; bjust as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.But now you also, aput them all aside: banger, wrath, malice, slander, and cabusive speech from your mouth.aDo not lie to one another, since you blaid aside the old self with its evil practices,

highlighted Genesis 4:3-7 NASB
So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground.aAbel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And bthe Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering;but afor Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So bCain became very angry and his countenance fell.Then the Lord said to Cain, "aWhy are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?"aIf you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? bAnd if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, cbut you must master it."

highlighted James 4:13-17 NASB
aCome now, you who say, "bToday or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. aYou are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.Instead, you ought to say, "aIf the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; aall such boasting is evil.Therefore, ato one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

highlighted James 4:4-6 NASB
You aadulteresses, do you not know that friendship with bthe world is chostility toward God? dTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.Or do you think that the Scripture aspeaks to no purpose: "He jealously desires bthe Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?But aHe gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "bGOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of adeadly poison.With it we bless aour Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, bwho have been made in the likeness of God;

highlighted James 3:3-6 NASB
Now aif we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it aboasts of great things.And athe tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which bdefiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by chell.

You have condemned and aput to death bthe righteous man; he does not resist you.Therefore be patient, abrethren, buntil the coming of the Lord. cThe farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets dthe early and late rains.aYou too be patient; bstrengthen your hearts, for cthe coming of the Lord is dnear.

aDo not speak against one another, bbrethren. He who speaks against a brother or cjudges his brother, speaks against dthe law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not ea doer of the law but a judge of it.There is only one aLawgiver and Judge, the One who is bable to save and to destroy; but cwho are you who judge your neighbor?
