the poor and needy. Phil. iii. 19. Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Rom. xii. 13, 14. Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you bless, and curse not. 1 Tim. iv. 1-3. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. Ephes. v. 5-7. 11. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them :. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
