Tradition

“Now I commend you for remembering me in everything and for maintaining the traditions, just as I passed them on to you.”

“Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we taught you, whether by speech or by letter.”

“Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.”

“At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick the heads of grain and eat them.”

““Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands before they eat.””

“Now in holding to the tradition of the elders, the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat until they wash their hands ceremonially.”

“One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grainfields, and His disciples began to pick the heads of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat them.”

“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ.”
