Bible Lesson
SPIRITUAL QUALITIES - Chasity Versus Lust
Chasity:
I Peter 3:1,2 NLR
1 "...Then, even if some refuse to obey The Good News, your Godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over
2 by observing your pure and reverent lives.
Lust:
Romans `1:24 NLT
So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
The Word, Chasity:
Exodus 20:14 KJV
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Psalm 51:10 KJV
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Matthew 5:27,28 KJV
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Acts 15:19-21 NLT
19 “And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20 Instead, we should write and tell them to abstain from eating food offered to idols, from sexual immorality, from eating the meat of strangled animals, and from consuming blood.
21 For these laws of Moses have been preached in Jewish synagogues in every city on every Sabbath for many generations.”
Romans 13:13,14 NLT
13 Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy.
14 Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of The Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
I Corinthians 5:9-11 NLT
9 When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.
10 But I wasn’t talking about unbelievers who indulge in sexual sin, or are greedy, or cheat people, or worship idols. You would have to leave this world to avoid people like that.
11 I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.
I Corinthians 6:18-20 KJV
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
I Corinthians 7:8,9 NLT
8 So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am.
9 But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust.
I Corinthians 10:6-8 NLT
6 These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did,
7 or worship idols as some of them did. As the Scriptures say, “The people celebrated with feasting and drinking, and they indulged in pagan revelry.”
8 And we must not engage in sexual immorality as some of them did, causing 23,000 of them to die in one day.
Ephesians 5:3 NLT
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.
I Thessalonians 4:3 NLT
God’s will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin.
II Timothy 2:22 KJV
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity (love), peace, with them that call on The Lord out of a pure heart.
I Peter 2:11 KJV
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
Revelation 2:14 NLT (The Church in Pergamum)
“But I have a few complaints against you. You tolerate some among you whose teaching is like that of Balaam, who showed Balak how to trip up the people of Israel. He taught them to sin by eating food offered to idols and by committing sexual sin.
Revelation 9:20,21 NLT
20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!
21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
The Word, Lust:
Exodus 20:14 KJV
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Psalm 101:3 NLT
I will refuse to look at anything vile and vulgar...".
Proverbs 6:25 NLT
Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
Matthew 5:28 NLT
But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Romans 8:6 NLT
So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting The Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace.
I Corinthians 6:13 NLT
You say, “Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.” (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can’t say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for The Lord, and The Lord cares about our bodies.
Galatians 5:16 NLT
So I say, let The Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.
II Timothy 2:22 NLT
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on The Lord with pure hearts.
James 1:14,15 NLT
14 Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.
15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
I John 2:16 KJV
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of The Father, but is of the world.
Prayer:
Psalm 119:9 KJV
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy Word.
