Zealousness Misplaced
Proverbs 25:18 (GNB)
A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow.
Proverbs 25:18 (NKJV)
A man who bears false witness against his neighbor Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.
James 4:11 (NKJV)
Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
2 Timothy 3:1 to 5 (NKJV)
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self~control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
1 John 2:3 to 6 (NKJV)
Now by this we know that we know Him (Jesus), if we keep His commandments. He who says, ^I know Him,^ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
1 John 2:9 to 11 (NKJV)
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Romans 10:2 (AMP)
I bear them witness that they have a [certain] zeal and enthusiasm for God, but it is not enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge.
Revelation 3:19 (GNB)
I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins.
Revelation 3:19 (NKJV)
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
