Warning to retreat

11 We want to tell you a lot about this. But it is very difficult to explain to you because you are not willing to understand.
Hebrews 5:11

12 You have got so much time that by now you should have become a Guru. But you need, once again, someone to teach you the basics of God’s teaching. You still need teaching like milk. You are not ready for a solid diet yet.
Hebrews 5:12

13 Anyone who lives on milk is an infant. Such a person knows nothing about the true teaching.
Hebrews 5:13

14 But solid food is not for those who are like infants. He is for those who are spiritually mature. Through their daily practice, they have convinced themselves to differentiate between good and bad.
Hebrews 5:14

New permission

7 My dear friends, I am not writing you a new command. This is the same old command that you had from the beginning. This old commandment is the same teaching that you have already heard.
1 John 2: 7

8 I am writing you this new command. This commandment is true, you have seen its truth in Jesus and in yourself. Darkness is disappearing and the true light has already begun to shine.
1 John 2: 8

9 A man saith, I am in the light. But if that person hates his brother, he is still in the dark.
1 John 2: 9

10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1 John 2:10

11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness. He does not know where he is going because darkness has blinded him.
1 John 2:11

12 Little children, I write unto you, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
1 John 2:12

13 Fathers, I write to you, because you know him who is from the beginning. Young men, I write to you because you have defeated the wicked one.
1 John 2:13

14 Little children, I write to you because you know God the Father. Fathers, I write to you because you know him who was from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you Be strong, the word of God dwells in you, and you have defeated that wicked one (Satan).
1 John 2:14

Die and live with Christ

1 Do you think that we should continue to sin so that God may show us more and more grace? Certainly not.
Romans 6: 1

2 We have died for our old sinful life. How, then, can we continue to live in sin?
Romans 6: 2

3 Have you forgotten that we have all become partakers of him who was baptized into Christ Jesus? We have shared his death through his baptism which we received.
Romans 6: 3

4 Wherefore when we were baptized, we were buried with Christ, and shared in his death. We are buried with Christ so that we can be raised and live a new life. All this happened just as Christ was raised from the dead by the great power of the Father.
Romans 6: 4

5 Christ died, and because we have shared with him in death, we will rejoice with him in his resurrection.
Romans 6: 5

6 We know that our former sinful nature was crucified with Jesus. This happened so that our sinful nature would not have any control over us. Let us no longer be slaves to sin.
Romans 6: 6

7 Anyone who has died is free from the power of sin.
Romans 6: 7

8 If we die with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Romans 6: 8

9 For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, cannot die again. Now death has no power over him.
Romans 6: 9

10 For Christ died for our sins once and for all. And the life he is living now is for God.
Romans 6:10

11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin. But live for God through Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:11

12 But do not let sin control your life here on earth. You must not succumb to the evil desires of your sinful mind.
Romans 6:12

13 Do not offer your body parts as instruments of sin, but offer yourselves to God, knowing that you were dead and now you are alive. Offer your body parts to God as tools for healing.
Romans 6:13

14 Sin will not be your master. For ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14
