men who fear God,
trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—
and appoint them as officials over
thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

When the righteous are in authority
the people rejoice;
but when the wicked rule,
the people mourn.

establishes the land but
he that receives gifts
overthrows it.
If a ruler listens to lies,
all his servants are wicked.

as
my prophet to the nations

filled with the Holy Spirit.

We have borrowed money
for the king’s tax on our fields

help it,
for other men have

or
who do anything else that
contradicts
the wholesome teaching
1 Timothy 1:10

having sex with another man
as with a woman,
both men have committed
a detestable act.

Leviticus 20:13
" Haven’t you read the Scriptures?”
Jesus replied.
“They record that from the beginning
‘God made them male and female.

his
father and mother and is
joined to his wife,
and the two are united into one.
Matthew 19:4-5
Don’t you realize that
those who do wrong
will not inherit the Kingdom of God?
Don’t fool yourselves.
Those who indulge in sexual sin,
or who worship idols,
or commit adultery,
or are male prostitutes,
or practice homosexuality
or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
“What should we do with these men?”
they asked each other.
“We can’t deny that
they have
performed a
miraculous sign, and
everybody in Jerusalem knows about it.
But to keep them from spreading
their propaganda
any further,
we must warn them not to
speak
to anyone in Jesus’ name again.”
So they called the apostles
back in and
commanded them
never again to speak or
teach in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John replied,
“Do you think God wants us
to
obey you rather than him?
We cannot stop telling about
everything we have seen and heard.”
Acts 4:18-20
“Let every person be subject
to the governing authorities.
For there is no authority
except from God,
and
those that exist have been
instituted by God”
Romans 13:1
