Claims

In all cases of illegal possession of an ox, a donkey, a sheep, a garment, or any lost item that someone claims, ‘This is mine,’ both parties shall bring their cases before the judges. The one whom the judges find guilty must pay back double to his neighbor.

Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.

As for the prophet or priest or anyone who claims, ‘This is the burden of the LORD,’ I will punish that man and his household.

But now I am writing you not to associate with anyone who claims to be a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a verbal abuser, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?

Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness.
