⁹ Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have ^[a]delivered your soul.

¹⁹ Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; ^(A)but you have delivered your soul.

⁴⁶ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, ^(A)“It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but ^(B)since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, ^(C)we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁰ Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:

²¹ Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

Hear the Heavenly Voice

²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For ^(A)if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

^3 (A)how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, ^(B)which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was ^(C)confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

¹⁴ Now we ^[a]exhort you, brethren, ^(A)warn those who are ^[b]unruly, ^(B)comfort the fainthearted, ^(C)uphold the weak, ^(D)be patient with all.

³ For this is ^(A)the will of God, ^(B)your sanctification: ^(C)that you should abstain from sexual immorality; ^4 (D)that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, ^5 (E)not in passion of lust, ^(F)like the Gentiles ^(G)who do not know God; ⁶ that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord ^(H)is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. ⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, ^(I)but in holiness. ^8 (J)Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, ^(K)who^[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.
