⁹ I wrote to you in my epistle not to associate with fornicators. ¹⁰ Yet I certainly did not mean with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to leave this world! ¹¹ But now I have written to you not to associate with anyone named a brother, who is a fornicator, or covetous person, or an idolater, or abusive person, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a person. ¹² For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? ¹³ But those who are outside God will judge. Therefore "put away the evil person from yourselves."

"Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the Day of redemption." (4:30)

Eph 4:25-29
(25)  Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.
(26)  "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
(27)  nor give place to the devil.
(28)  Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.
(29)  Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Eph 4:20-24
(20)  But you have not so learned Christ,
(21)  if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
(22)  that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,
(23)  and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
(24)  and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

Jude 1:3 ³ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

A little off topic--John 5:29, and what the Lord Jesus calls "The Resurrection of Damnation."

Conventiently softened by modern Bible translators, so as not to "offend" anyone--When this word is DESIGNED TO OFFEND!! it should offend you to your core being!

Ephesians 4:17-19 ¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, ¹⁸ having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; ¹⁹ who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Ephesians 4:14-16 ¹⁴ that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, ¹⁵ but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head -- Christ -- ¹⁶ from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
