highlighted 1 Corinthians 11:11-26 NASB
However, in the Lord, neither is woman independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.For as the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and aall things originate bfrom God.aJudge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.But if one is inclined to be contentious, awe have no other practice, nor have bthe churches of God.But in giving this instruction, aI do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that adivisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.For there amust also be factions among you, bso that those who are approved may become evident among you.Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,for in your eating each one takes his own supper first; and one is hungry and aanother is drunk.What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the achurch of God and bshame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall cI praise you? In this I will not praise you.For aI received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that bthe Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."In the same way He took athe cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the bnew covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death auntil He comes.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last ayou have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be acontent in whatever circumstances I am.I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going ahungry, both of having abundance and bsuffering need.I can do all things through Him who astrengthens me.aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by bprayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And athe peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will bguard your hearts and your cminds in dChrist Jesus.Finally, brethren, awhatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.The things you have learned and received and heard and seen ain me, practice these things, and bthe God of peace will be with you.

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.I can do all things through him who strengthens me.do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

highlighted Galatians 5:16-26 ESV
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
