“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as

God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish

hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.”

(Rom 1:21-22)

“So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer

live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in

their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance

that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity,

they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of

impurity, with a continual lust for more.” (Ep 4:17-19)

“I tell you that

men will have to give an account on the day of judgment for every

and by your words you will be condemned.” (Matt 12:36-37)

“Having lost all sensitivity,

they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of

impurity with a continual lust for more.” (Eph 4:19)

“You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. (you know

better) Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the

truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life,

to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; (there’s

the futile thinking again) to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to

put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.”

(Eph 4:20-24)

that God desires.” (James 1:20)

“Do not let

any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for

building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who

listen.” (Eph 4:29)

something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share

with those in need.” (Eph 4:28)

than receive.” (Acts 20:35)

“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom

you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and

anger, brawling and slander, [BTW, “all” includes social media … ] along with

every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each

other just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Eph 4:30-32)
