Bible Language Cross References for the verse James 3:0 in NET
- 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except by God's appointment, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by God.
- 2 So the person who resists such authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will incur judgment
- 3 (for rulers cause no fear for good conduct but for bad). Do you desire not to fear authority? Do good and you will receive its commendation,
- 4 for it is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be in fear, for it does not bear the sword in vain. It is God's servant to administer retribution on the wrongdoer.
- 5 Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath of the authorities but also because of your conscience.
- 6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants devoted to governing.
- 7 Pay everyone what is owed: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
- 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
- 9 For the commandments, "Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet," (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, "Love your neighbor as yourself."
- 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

- 12 The night has advanced toward dawn; the day is near. So then we must lay aside the works of darkness, and put on the weapons of light.
- 13 Let us live decently as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in discord and jealousy.
- 14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.
- 1 So, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but instead as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.
- 2 I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready,
- 3 for you are still influenced by the flesh. For since there is still jealousy and dissension among you, are you not influenced by the flesh and behaving like unregenerate people?
- 4 For whenever someone says, "I am with Paul," or "I am with Apollos," are you not merely human?
- 5 What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us.
- 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused it to grow.
- 7 So neither the one who plants counts for anything, nor the one who waters, but God who causes the growth.
- 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work as one, but each will receive his reward according to his work.
- 9 We are coworkers belonging to God. You are God's field, God's building.
- 10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master-builder I laid a foundation, but someone else builds on it. And each one must be careful how he builds.
- 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than what is being laid, which is Jesus Christ.
- 12 If anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,
- 13 each builder's work will be plainly seen, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by fire. And the fire will test what kind of work each has done.
- 14 If what someone has built survives, he will receive a reward.
- 15 If someone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
- 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
- 17 If someone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, which is what you are.
- 18 Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.
- 19 For the wisdom of this age is foolishness with God. As it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness."
- 20 And again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."
- 21 So then, no more boasting about mere mortals! For everything belongs to you,
- 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future. Everything belongs to you,
- 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.
