They were doing the same disgusting things which these people did.

7
So, in all our trouble and suffering we have been encouraged about you, friends. It was your faith that encouraged us,
8
because now we really live if you stand firm in your life in union with the Lord.
and I burn

Numbers 25:6-11
6
One of the Israelites took a Midianite woman into his tent in the sight of Moses and the whole community, while they were mourning at the entrance of the Tent of the LORD's presence.
7
When Phinehas, the son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest, saw this, he got up and left the assembly. He took a spear,
8
followed the man and the woman into the tent, and drove the spear through both of them. In this way the epidemic that was destroying Israel was stopped,
9
but it had already killed twenty-four thousand people.
10
The LORD said to Moses,
11
"Because of what Phinehas has done, I am no longer angry with the people of Israel. He refused to tolerate the worship of any god but me, and that is why I did not destroy them in my anger.
Nehemiah 5:6-13
6
When I heard their complaints, I grew angry
7
and decided to act. I denounced the leaders and officials of the people and told them, "You are oppressing your own relatives!" I called a public assembly to deal with the problem
8
and said, "As far as we have been able, we have been buying back our Jewish relatives who had to sell themselves to foreigners. Now you are forcing your own relatives to sell themselves to you, their own people!" The leaders were silent and could find nothing to say.
9
Then I said, "What you are doing is wrong! You ought to obey God and do what's right. Then you would not give our enemies, the Gentiles, any reason to ridicule us.
10
I have let the people borrow money and grain from me, and so have my companions and those who work for me. Now let's give up all our claims to repayment.
11
Cancel all the debts they owe you---money or grain or wine or olive oil. And give them back their fields, vineyards, olive groves, and houses right now!"
12
The leaders replied, "We'll do as you say. We'll give the property back and not try to collect the debts." I called in the priests and made the leaders swear in front of them to keep the promise they had just made.
13
Then I took off the sash I was wearing around my waist and shook it out. "This is how God will shake any of you who don't keep your promise," I said. "God will take away your houses and everything you own, and will leave you with nothing." Everyone who was present said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. And the leaders kept their promise.
Nehemiah 13:15-20
15
At that time I saw people in Judah pressing juice from grapes on the Sabbath. Others were loading grain, wine, grapes, figs, and other things on their donkeys and taking them into Jerusalem; I warned them not to sell anything on the Sabbath.
16
Some people from the city of Tyre were living in Jerusalem, and they brought fish and all kinds of goods into the city to sell to our people on the Sabbath.
17
I reprimanded the Jewish leaders and told them, "Look at the evil you're doing! You're making the Sabbath unholy.
18
This is exactly why God punished your ancestors when he brought destruction on this city. And yet you insist on bringing more of God's anger down on Israel by profaning the Sabbath."
19

20
Once or twice merchants who sold all kinds of goods spent Friday night outside the city walls.
Nehemiah 13:23-25
23
At that time I also discovered that many of the Jewish men had married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.
24
Half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod or some other language and didn't know how to speak our language.

I reprimanded the men, called down curses on them, beat them, and pulled out their hair. Then I made them take an oath in God's name that never again would they or their children intermarry with foreigners.
John 2:17
His disciples remembered that the scripture says, "My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire."
1 Corinthians 5:1-5
1
Now, it is actually being said that there is sexual immorality among you so terrible that not even the heathen would be guilty of it. I am told that a man is sleeping with his stepmother!
2
How, then, can you be proud? On the contrary, you should be filled with sadness, and the man who has done such a thing should be expelled from your fellowship.
3
And even though I am far away from you in body, still I am there with you in spirit; and as though I were there with you, I have in the name of our Lord Jesus already passed judgment on the man who has done this terrible thing. As you meet together, and I meet with you in my spirit, by the power of our Lord Jesus present with us,
5
you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 6:5-7
5
Shame on you! Surely there is at least one wise person in your fellowship who can settle a dispute between fellow Christians.
6
Instead, one Christian goes to court against another and lets unbelievers judge the case!
7
The very fact that you have legal disputes among yourselves shows that you have failed completely. Would it not be better for you to be wronged? Would it not be better for you to be robbed?
1 Corinthians 6:15-18
15
You know that your bodies are parts of the body of Christ. Shall I take a part of Christ's body and make it part of the body of a prostitute? Impossible!
16
Or perhaps you don't know that the man who joins his body to a prostitute becomes physically one with her? The scripture says quite plainly, "The two will become one body."
17
But he who joins himself to the Lord becomes spiritually one with him.
18
Avoid immorality. Any other sin a man commits does not affect his body; but the man who is guilty of sexual immorality sins against his own body.
1 Corinthians 11:22
Don't you have your own homes in which to eat and drink? Or would you rather despise the church of God and put to shame the people who are in need? What do you expect me to say to you about this? Shall I praise you? Of course I don't!
1 Corinthians 15:12-34
12
Now, since our message is that Christ has been raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life?
13
If that is true, it means that Christ was not raised;
14
and if Christ has not been raised from death, then we have nothing to preach and you have nothing to believe.
15
More than that, we are shown to be lying about God, because we said that he raised Christ from death---but if it is true that the dead are not raised to life, then he did not raise Christ.
16
For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17
And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is a delusion and you are still lost in your sins.
18
It would also mean that the believers in Christ who have died are lost.
19
If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world.
20
But the truth is that Christ has been raised from death, as the guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised.
21
For just as death came by means of a man, in the same way the rising from death comes by means of a man.
22
For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ.
23
But each one will be raised in proper order: Christ, first of all; then, at the time of his coming, those who belong to him.
24
Then the end will come; Christ will overcome all spiritual rulers, authorities, and powers, and will hand over the Kingdom to God the Father.
25
For Christ must rule until God defeats all enemies and puts them under his feet.
26
The last enemy to be defeated will be death.
27
For the scripture says, "God put all things under his feet." It is clear, of course, that the words "all things" do not include God himself, who puts all things under Christ.
28
But when all things have been placed under Christ's rule, then he himself, the Son, will place himself under God, who placed all things under him; and God will rule completely over all.
29
Now, what about those people who are baptized for the dead? What do they hope to accomplish? If it is true, as some claim, that the dead are not raised to life, why are those people being baptized for the dead?
30
And as for us---why would we run the risk of danger every hour?
31
My friends, I face death every day! The pride I have in you, in our life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord, makes me declare this.
32
If I have, as it were, fought "wild beasts" here in Ephesus simply from human motives, what have I gained? But if the dead are not raised to life, then, as the saying goes, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
33
Do not be fooled. "Bad companions ruin good character."
34
Come back to your right senses and stop your sinful ways. I declare to your shame that some of you do not know God.
1 Corinthians 15:36-34
Galatians 1:7-10
7
Actually, there is no "other gospel," but I say this because there are some people who are upsetting you and trying to change the gospel of Christ.
8
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel that is different from the one we preached to you, may he be condemned to hell!
9
We have said it before, and now I say it again: if anyone preaches to you a gospel that is different from the one you accepted, may he be condemned to hell!
10
Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God's approval! Am I trying to be popular with people? If I were still trying to do so, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 2:4-6
4
although some wanted it done. Pretending to be believers, these men slipped into our group as spies, in order to find out about the freedom we have through our union with Christ Jesus. They wanted to make slaves of us,
5
but in order to keep the truth of the gospel safe for you, we did not give in to them for a minute.
6
But those who seemed to be the leaders---I say this because it makes no difference to me what they were; God does not judge by outward appearances---those leaders, I say, made no new suggestions to me.
Galatians 2:14-6
Galatians 3:1-3
1
You foolish Galatians! Who put a spell on you? Before your very eyes you had a clear description of the death of Jesus Christ on the cross!
2
Tell me this one thing: did you receive God's Spirit by doing what the Law requires or by hearing the gospel and believing it?
3
How can you be so foolish! You began by God's Spirit; do you now want to finish by your own power?
Galatians 4:8-20
8
In the past you did not know God, and so you were slaves of beings who are not gods.
9
But now that you know God---or, I should say, now that God knows you---how is it that you want to turn back to those weak and pitiful ruling spirits? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again?
10
You pay special attention to certain days, months, seasons, and years.
11
I am worried about you! Can it be that all my work for you has been for nothing?
12
I beg you, my friends, be like me. After all, I am like you. You have not done me any wrong.
13
You remember why I preached the gospel to you the first time; it was because I was sick.
14
But even though my physical condition was a great trial to you, you did not despise or reject me. Instead, you received me as you would an angel from heaven; you received me as you would Christ Jesus.
15
You were so happy! What has happened? I myself can say that you would have taken out your own eyes, if you could, and given them to me.
16
Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17
Those other people show a deep interest in you, but their intentions are not good. All they want is to separate you from me, so that you will have the same interest in them as they have in you.
18
Now, it is good to have such a deep interest if the purpose is good---this is true always, and not merely when I am with you.
19
My dear children! Once again, just like a mother in childbirth, I feel the same kind of pain for you until Christ's nature is formed in you.
20
How I wish I were with you now, so that I could take a different attitude toward you. I am so worried about you!
Galatians 5:2-4
2
Listen! I, Paul, tell you that if you allow yourselves to be circumcised, it means that Christ is of no use to you at all.
3
Once more I warn any man who allows himself to be circumcised that he is obliged to obey the whole Law.
4
Those of you who try to be put right with God by obeying the Law have cut yourselves off from Christ. You are outside God's grace.
2 John 1:10
So then, if some come to you who do not bring this teaching, do not welcome them in your homes; do not even say, "Peace be with you."
2 John 1:11
For anyone who wishes them peace becomes their partner in the evil things they do.
Jude 1:3
My dear friends, I was doing my best to write to you about the salvation we share in common, when I felt the need of writing at once to encourage you to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people.
Jude 1:4
For some godless people have slipped in unnoticed among us, persons who distort the message about the grace of our God in order to excuse their immoral ways, and who reject Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord. Long ago the Scriptures predicted the condemnation they have received.
Revelation 2:2
I know what you have done; I know how hard you have worked and how patient you have been. I know that you cannot tolerate evil people and that you have tested those who say they are apostles but are not, and have found out that they are liars.
Revelation 2:20
But this is what I have against you: you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a messenger of God. By her teaching she misleads my servants into practicing sexual immorality and eating food that has been offered to idols.
Revelation 3:15-18
15
I know what you have done; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. How I wish you were either one or the other!
16
But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth!
17
You say, 'I am rich and well off; I have all I need.' But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind.
18
I advise you, then, to buy gold from me, pure gold, in order to be rich. Buy also white clothing to dress yourself and cover up your shameful nakedness. Buy also some ointment to put on your eyes, so that you may see.
