Job 32:11-33:12
New International Version
Job 32:11-33:12
New International Version
11 I waited while you spoke,
I listened to your reasoning;
while you were searching for words,
12 I gave you my full attention.
But not one of you has proved Job wrong;
none of you has answered his arguments.(A)
13 Do not say, ‘We have found wisdom;(B)
let God, not a man, refute(C) him.’
14 But Job has not marshaled his words against me,(D)
and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say;
words have failed them.(E)
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent,
now that they stand there with no reply?
17 I too will have my say;
I too will tell what I know.(F)
18 For I am full of words,
and the spirit(G) within me compels me;(H)
19 inside I am like bottled-up wine,
like new wineskins ready to burst.(I)
20 I must speak and find relief;
I must open my lips and reply.(J)
21 I will show no partiality,(K)
nor will I flatter anyone;(L)
22 for if I were skilled in flattery,
my Maker(M) would soon take me away.(N)
33 “But now, Job, listen(O) to my words;
pay attention to everything I say.(P)
2 I am about to open my mouth;
my words are on the tip of my tongue.
3 My words come from an upright heart;(Q)
my lips sincerely speak what I know.(R)
4 The Spirit(S) of God has made me;(T)
the breath of the Almighty(U) gives me life.(V)
5 Answer me(W) then, if you can;
stand up(X) and argue your case before me.(Y)
6 I am the same as you in God’s sight;(Z)
I too am a piece of clay.(AA)
7 No fear of me should alarm you,
nor should my hand be heavy on you.(AB)
8 “But you have said in my hearing—
I heard the very words—
9 ‘I am pure,(AC) I have done no wrong;(AD)
I am clean and free from sin.(AE)
10 Yet God has found fault with me;
he considers me his enemy.(AF)
11 He fastens my feet in shackles;(AG)
he keeps close watch on all my paths.’(AH)
12 “But I tell you, in this you are not right,
for God is greater than any mortal.(AI)
Job 32:11-33:12
King James Version
Job 32:11-33:12
King James Version
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
33 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
Psalm 101:1-5

Psalm 101:1-5
New International Version
Psalm 101
Of David. A psalm.
1 I will sing of your love(A) and justice;
to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life(B)—
when will you come to me?
I will conduct the affairs(C) of my house
with a blameless heart.
3 I will not look with approval
on anything that is vile.(D)
Psalm 101:1-5
King James Version
Psalm 101:1-5
King James Version
101 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

New International Version
Paul’s Appeal and Warning
14 I am writing this not to shame you(A) but to warn you as my dear children.(B) 15 Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father(C) through the gospel.(D) 16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.(E) 17 For this reason I have sent to you(F) Timothy,(G) my son(H) whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.(I)
18 Some of you have become arrogant,(J) as if I were not coming to you.(K) 19 But I will come to you very soon,(L) if the Lord is willing,(M) and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of(N) talk but of power.(O) 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline,(P) or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?
1 Corinthians 4:14-21
King James Version
1 Corinthians 4:14-21
King James Version
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
21 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
