I encourage all to read the whole chapter wherever I have cited scripture, and understand my references in their proper context.
Beware the untaught*, the unskilled*, and the unstable*, those who twist* the truth and bring false doctrine, making up things which contradict* scripture, and these lies are a cancer* to the body of Christ.
Always compare what is said to the Holy Bible, and if true, submit to it. Experience does not determine doctrine. The living word of God either validates experience or exposes the lies of it. "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth." John 17:17, Hebrews 4:12
"Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer*." 2 Timothy 2 If you do not study God's word, you cannot be an unashamed worker, as you will not be rightly dividing the word of truth.
"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment."
"For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled* in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5
"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; 3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? 4 For when one says, �I am of Paul,� and another, �I am of Apollos,� are you not carnal? 1 Corinthians 3
"Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation�as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught* and unstable* people twist* to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. 17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3
"O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions* of what is falsely called knowledge� 21 by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith." 1 Timothy 6
If anyone think a pointed response is never appropriate, especially when there is false teaching being thrown about, consider these words most carefully: "Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith" Titus 1
"Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned." Titus 3
"Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Psalm 119
"I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above ALL Your name." Psalm 138 This is the importance God has assigned to His word. Read it, study it, meditate upon it, memorize it, write it, listen to it, drink it, eat it.

Read the words more carefully, NEITHER, so for a person to not be as Christ, light and always answering, you need to ask a question and be refused an answer also. That is the example of Christ being equal though, so we know you cannot agree to it.
Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Proverbs 16:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

"a son of god" thinks it is the right way to show Jesus as refusing to answer questions, because he refuses to answer questions, and he can refuse to answer but Jesus never did. The way of not answering simple questions about our faith, has the same judgement returned from God, they will call upon God, but this time God will not answer them. Their own devices are returned, they find according to their own working, they love cursing so it shall come upon them, they delighted not in blessing, so it shall be far from them..
Proverbs 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Job 34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Psalms 109:17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

It is a shameful thing to try to suggest Jesus avoids answering questions, when what was displayed by the testimony of Christ was He answered so much of all of their questions, that they were afraid to ask Him any more questions ever again.
Constantly, constantly answering, and not refusing the sign they asked for, but answering they did not know the signs of the times, as they were the sign, the fact they did not know the time of His coming.
Jesus had to hide who He was from the Pharisees, they asked by what authority He did His works, He did answer, by revealing the authority was the one they had to deny, they denied John was of Heaven....
Matthew 21:23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 16:20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Context is important, but those who are unskilled in the word have no shame..
Zephaniah 3:5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Jeremiah 6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whoore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

People not only are not the Messiah, they have no right to Blaspheme the Holy Ghost. Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is to try to show unholiness or unrighteousness in God. Jesus Christ is light sent to earth. People in darkness do not love His ways, they prefer to continue in darkness because what they do is evil. If a man is not evil,he will not try to hide anything, but instead will be glad to have all he does corrected and confessed. It is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost to compare your own darkness and lack of free answers to Christ, He does answer, light cannot hide a thing, even darkness cannot hide a thing, your folly is made known to all men as foretold for end time corrupt misleading teachers..
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
Every word we speak is accountable, every hardening of the heart and refusing to answer, every accusation we do against the light, will come to light, and even is already, you can hide nothing, it is manifested, it is discovered, and just because you do not obey Gods right ways as set out to confess our faults to one another, if you neglect to tell the truth, you show yourself for what you are..
Mark 4:21 And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 2:11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, �If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.� 33 They answered Him, �We are Abraham�s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, �You will be made free�?� 34 Jesus answered them, �Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. 37 �I know that you are Abraham�s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.� 39 They answered and said to Him, �Abraham is our father.� Jesus said to them, �If you were Abraham�s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.� Then they said to Him, �We were not born of fornication; we have one Father�God.� 42 Jesus said to them, �If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God�s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.� Before Abraham Was, I AM 48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, �Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?� 49 Jesus answered, �I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.� 52 Then the Jews said to Him, �Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, �If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.� 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?� 54 Jesus answered, �If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, �I do not know Him,� I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.� 57 Then the Jews said to Him, �You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?�
58 Jesus said to them, �Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.� 59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."
Rather than answer point for point, and allow the text to speak for itself, and have an honest exchange, some of you draw many many off point scriptures into the discussion. You question me because I follow the example of Christ, defer to God the Father, and Jesus His Only Begotten Son; and I revere His holy word. Questioning experiences to determine if the word of God is true is not what mature Christians do. They do not refuse God's word because of the source. You ask endless questions, not to learn the truth, but to find some reason to find fault.
"Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice."
How is it that you do not know Christians can sin if you are so wise? How is it you do not know salvation is eternal? How it is you say mature Christians lose their ability to minister because they have become mature in the Lord and skilled in the use of His holy word? How is it you think it okay to disobey the direct command in the scriptures to not rebuke an older man? How is it you don't know that you are commanded to judge open sin in the lives of people who associate with the church, and who claim to be Christians (1 Corinthians 5)? How come you think it is okay to add to the word of God? "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. 6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar."
The meaning of life is to know God and Christ (John 17); the primary purpose is to love God (Mark 12). God says the mark of knowing Him is obeying His commandments (1 John 2); and the evidence of loving Him is feeding His sheep (John 21) You can't know God intimately if you don't know His holy word. You can't feed His sheep if you don't know His word. You can't know the value of the soul of a man if you don't know God's word. Daily feasting upon His holy word is critical to right thinking.
"Your word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against You."
Do not follow those who are not SKILLED in the word. Anyone who rejects maturity in the word, saying it disqualifies you from ministering to God's people, is a liar, and should be rejected as an heretic. (Titus 3:10)
"For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
I will not run down every vain rabbit trail. The teaching of God's word is clear. This is the unmistakable truth of the matter.
"For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit."
When you reject God's word, because you think you see some flaw in the messenger, God says you reject Him, not the messenger.

Sin is hatred towards your brother, Christ called us to love and shed His love into our hearts b the Holy Spirit, of course a Christian can sin, a Christian is just a person. But for any man to say He knows Christ and does not keep His commandments to love others and to not sin, they are what...
1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
Salvation is eternal, so is destruction everlasting, God is the judge to decide all, everybody who is a boaster will be cut off, Christ came for the meek..
Romans 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
Mature Christians are people, mature people get set in their ways, and if they do not hear correction when younger, much less chance when older, God calls us through the Spirit of His son, to be as little children, aged men do not understand judgement, as it is the Spirit of Christ that is wisdom.
Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the chest.
Job 32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Context is important, you love to leave that out when it suits you, but you cannot leave context out any more. If an elder makes a mistake, we intreat him as a father. When an elder is trying to rule like a king, he wont be admonished. We are to honour widows who are sincerely widows, and insincere widows are dead already. The elder that is accused, should have two witnesses, and when it is substantiated he is sinning and is corrupt, them that sin rebuke before all, that others mat fear, for there is no respect of persons before God..
1 Timothy 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
1 Timothy 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
21 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
Romans 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Nobody can add to the word of God, God is the word, you cannot add to God, God is all things. The scriptures are complete and do not need people to come along and judge again the examples we have from God, everything is presented as it should be, and everybody who attempts fails.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
To know God is to love others, because how can we love God who we have not seen if we do not love men who we do see ? The meaning of life is to have no meaning for yourself and all meaning for others, to be kind to them, and to deny yourself and to raise them up. Knowing Gods word is nothing, God is the word who lives in our heart, from that heart you speak out to others, otherwise the words are told only as words.
1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Context dear misleader. Read slowly everybody, this was addressed to Christians who are dull of hearing. They do not have ears to hear with. Can we speak to people who cannot hear ? No, the Lord needs to give ears to hear with of course. That is how all works in sense, first God forms the ears, then God gives the sound. You do not be as the hypocrite who insists they give you the sounds but they cannot give you ears to hear with. But that is the power of man....nothing. One is needed to teach the people, but which one ?
Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
10 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Deuteronomy 2:2 And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Matthew 13:9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Matthew 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Firstly, there is no messenger, one is our Master, one is the messenger. We are all brothers. So do not defraud your brother in any matter, we cannot do uncleanness towards our brothers, and if you do evil to your brother despising him in your heart and actions of sin, it is the Holy Spirit you despise, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit...
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
1 Thessalonians 4:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

A person can gain nothing by speaking the word, but if kindness is contained in your words, it is health to the bones, and is like a medicine. Without being gentle, kind, pleasant, it is purely cold knowledge, without life in it, and when people pretend to speak love, it is a poor pretence, and you cannot miss the imitation it is making..
Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Philippians 1:15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

2 to miss the mark
3 to err, be mistaken
4 to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour, to do or go wrong
5 to wander from the law of God, violate God's law, sin
You have that exactly the opposite of what it should say. Hatred towards your brother is a type of sin. Sin is far more expansive than mere hatred of your brother, and every sin is not a specific hatred of your brother.
You sir, are unskilled in the use of the Word of God, and do much damage to the body with your false claims about what the scripture says; and they are many. You rip things out of context right and left, and do not appear to care if they are on point or not. Satan quoted scripture to Christ. Just because you quote scripture, the truth, doesn't make it appropriate or proper to the discussion. Randomly posting unrelated scriptures (which are hard to read because you haven't taken time to learn how to post it so it is easy to read), serves no good purpose.
Do not take instruction from those who are unskilled in the Word.

You are giving out of context by your strongs interpretations, but Gods word is in context, and correcting every word you ever said...
Sin is the transgression of the law of God...
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
To manifest who are the children of God, they need to love their brother...
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
All the law is fulfilled in ONE word, to love your neigbour as yourself.
Galatians 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Love is the fulfilling of the law, to not commit adultary, not kill, not steal, not bear false witness, not covet, all sins against your neigbour. All is regarding hating and sinning against your brother..
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
Ephesians 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Matthew 26:60 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
