Be Not

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil. Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Be not afraid, only believe. Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

My religion is a Man (Christ Jesus Himself) who bled and died for sinners. My God died for my sins, and rose again from the dead. He gave me His salvation freely when I asked Him for His forgiveness and mercy. Glory to be unto His matchless name - The Lord Jesus Christ! He's the Best. Just praise God anyhow. It's all about HIM!
