28 “You must not call down evil upon God*+ nor curse a chieftain* among your people.+

22 Also, I have given them the glory that you have given me, in order that they may be one just as we are one.+

4 he is puffed up [with pride],+ not understanding anything,+ but being mentally+ diseased over questionings and debates about words.+ From these things spring envy,+ strife, abusive+ speeches, wicked suspicions,

14 If YOU are being reproached for the name of Christ,+ YOU are happy,+ because the [spirit] of glory, even the spirit of God, is resting upon YOU.+

10 That is why, if I come, I will call to remembrance his works which he goes on doing,+ chattering about us with wicked words.+ Also, not being content* with these things, neither does he himself receive the brothers+ with respect, and those who are wanting to receive+ them he tries* to hinder+ and to throw out+ of the congregation.
