28. And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;



29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,



30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,



3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,



4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;



5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.



6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,



7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

John Chapter 4



16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

7. And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;



9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.

There is no substitute
So you want to play for a class that will study a particular book, and you want to prepare yourself for it, but you don't want to read the actual book? I don't get it. Just grab a Bible, and skim through the Old Testament part. It doesn't even make up half of the book.
