Evening devotional

Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

12.17 Evening:

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, . . . I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.―That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

In a great House there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

Eph 5:11 1Co 15:33 5:6,7,9-11 Php 2:15 2Ti 2:20

12.17 Evening:

(Ephesians 5:11)And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

(I Corinthians 15:33)Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

(I Corinthians 5:6,7)Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: . . .(I Corinthians 5:9-11)I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.--- (Philippians 2:15)That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

(II Timothy 2:20)But in a great House there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.*

Eph 5:11 1Co 15:33 5:6,7,9-11 Php 2:15 2Ti 2:20
*II Timothy 2:20-22 But in a great House there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
