and with it we curse human beings,
who have been made in God’s likeness.
James 3:9 (NIV)
Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies,
but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God,
what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2 (ESV)
For the word of God is alive and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing
soul and spirit,
joints and marrow;
it judges the thoughts and attitudes
of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
Be careful not to do your good works
in public in order to attract attention.
If you do, your Father in heaven
will not reward you.
Matthew 6:1 (GWT)
If you do not listen,
and if you do not resolve to honor my name,”
says the LORD Almighty, “I will send a curse on you,
and I will curse your blessings.
Yes, I have already cursed them,
because you have not resolved to honor me."
Malachi 2:1-2 (NIV)
