Jeremiah 2:34
2:34 Even your clothes are stained with
the lifeblood of the poor who had not done anything wrong;
you did not catch them breaking into your homes.
Yet, in spite of all these things you have done,
Acts 1:16-20
1:16 “Brothers,
the scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through
David concerning Judas – who became the guide for those who arrested Jesus –
1:17 for he was counted as one of us and received a share in this ministry.”
1:18 (Now this man Judas
acquired a field with the reward of his unjust deed,
and falling headfirst
he burst open in the middle and all his intestines
gushed out.
1:19 This
became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language
they called that field
Hakeldama, that is, “Field of Blood.”)
1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘
Let his house become deserted, and let there be no one to live in it,’
and ‘
Let another take his position of responsibility.’
Acts 5:1-11
The Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira
5:1 Now a man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property.
5:2 He kept back for himself part of the proceeds with his wife’s knowledge; he brought only part of it and placed it at the apostles’ feet.
5:3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale of the land?
5:4 Before it was sold, did it not belong to you? And when it was sold, was the money not at your disposal? How have you thought up this deed in your heart? You have not lied to people but to God!”
5:5 When Ananias heard these words he collapsed and died, and great fear gripped all who heard about it.
5:6 So the young men came, wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
5:7 After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, but she did not know what had happened.
5:8 Peter said to her, “Tell me, were the two of you paid this amount for the land?” Sapphira said, “Yes, that much.”
5:9 Peter then told her, “Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!”
5:10 At once she collapsed at his feet and died. So when the young men came in, they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
5:11 Great fear gripped the whole church and all who heard about these things.

Galatians 5:19-21
5:19 Now the works of the flesh
are obvious:
sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,
5:20 idolatry, sorcery,
hostilities,
strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions,
factions,
5:21 envying,
murder,
drunkenness, carousing,
and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

and managers until the date set by his

Galatians 2:20-21
2:20 I have been crucified with Christ,
and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So
the life I now live in the body,
I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.
2:21 I do not set aside
God’s grace, because if righteousness
could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!
