The Epistle of Grace Part Two, A Little Leaven Leavens the Whole Lump Clark Whitten All scriptures NASB unless otherwise noted.
Galatians 4:12 - I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. Galatians 1:6-10 - I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ. Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. 1 Corinthians 3:3-7 - for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? 4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not mere men? 5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Matthew 5:27-28, 40 - “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; 28 but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart… 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat also.” Matthew 6:9, 12, 14-15 - Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name… 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors… 14 For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions. Ephesians 4:32, KJV - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Galatians 5:1, 9, NKJV - Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage… 9 A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
