SELFISH

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 NIV Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. (5) It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

ANGRY

Matthew 5:21-26 NIV You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, “Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.” (22) But I tell you than anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother “Raca (an insult), is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, “You fool!” will be in danger of the fire of hell. (23) Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, (24) leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. (25) Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison (26) I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.

UNMERCIFUL

Matthew 18:21-35 NIV (21) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” (22) Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy seven times. (23)Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. (24) As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. (25) Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. (26) “The servant fell on his knees before him. Be patient with me, he begged, and I will pay back everything. (27) The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. (28) But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denari. He grabbed him and began to choke him. Pay back what you owe me! he demanded. (29) His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, Be patient with me, and I will pay you back. (30) But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. (31) When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. (32) Then the master called the servant in, You wicked servant, he said, I canceled all that debt of your because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you? (34) In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all the owed. (35) This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.

Matthew 23:23 NIV Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites. You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

1 Corinth 12:25-26 NIV so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for the other. (26) If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

INDIFFERENT
