being a stepmom

¹The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, in order to make known to his servants the things that must soon occur, and which he signified by sending his Angel to his servant John;

²²You shall not commit sexual acts with a male, in place of sexual intercourse with a female, for this is an abomination.

²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

²⁷And God created man to his own image; to the image of God he created him; male and female, he created them.

⁵Therefore, mortify your body, while it is upon the earth. For because of fornication, impurity, lust, evil desires, and avarice, which are a kind of service to idols,

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence.

⁹Do you not know that the iniquitous will not possess the kingdom of God? Do not choose to wander astray. For neither fornicators, nor servants of idolatry, nor adulterers,

³⁴Women should be silent in the churches. For it is not permitted for them to speak; but instead, they should be subordinate, as the law also says.

²⁶Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.

³¹Give to her from the fruit of her own hands. And let her works praise her at the gates.

⁵And they called out to Lot, and they said to him: “Where are the men who entered to you in the night? Bring them out here, so that we may know them.”

¹⁶And do you not know that whoever is joined to a harlot becomes one body? “For the two,” he said, “shall be as one flesh.”

¹³If any man has slept with a male in place of sexual intercourse with a female, both have committed a nefarious act, they shall die a death. So let their blood be upon them.

²For whoever speaks in tongues, speaks not to men, but to God. For no one understands. Yet by the Spirit, he speaks mysteries.

¹Above all else, it is being said that there is fornication among you, even fornication of a such kind that is not among the Gentiles, so that someone would have the wife of his father.

¹⁹But in the Church, I prefer to speak five words from my mind, so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in tongues.

¹“My heart exults in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies. For I have rejoiced in your salvation. ²Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. And nothing is strong as our God is strong. ³Do not continue speaking of great things, boasting. Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, and thoughts are prepared for him. ⁴The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, and the weak have been girded with strength. ⁵Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. And the starving have been filled, so that the barren have given birth to many. But she who had borne many sons has become unable. ⁶The Lord brings death, and he gives life. He leads away to death, and he brings back again.

²⁷If anyone is speaking in tongues, let there be only two, or at most three, and then in turn, and let someone interpret.

¹⁵For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

¹⁵If you love me, keep my commandments.

¹⁹Such as these, despairing, have given themselves over to sexual immorality, carrying out every impurity with rapacity.

¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just.
