Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition, knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. . . .
