Jude 10
New American Standard Bible
10 But (A)these people disparage all the things that they do not understand; and (B)all the things that they know by instinct, (C)like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

Jude 10
New International Version
10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.(A)
Romans 2:12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 For all who have sinned [a](A)without the Law will also perish [b]without the Law, and all who have sinned [c]under the Law will be judged [d]by the Law; 13 for it is (B)not the hearers [e]of the Law who are [f]righteous before God, but the doers [g]of the Law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles who do not have [h]the Law [i](C)instinctively perform the requirements of the Law, these, though not having [j]the Law, are a law to themselves, 15 in that they show (D)the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them,

New International Version
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(A) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(B) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(C) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
Colossians 2:2-8
New American Standard Bible
2 that their (A)hearts may be encouraged, having been (B)knit together in love, and that they would attain to all (C)the wealth [a]that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a (D)true knowledge of (E)God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, 3 in whom are hidden all (F)the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 (G)I say this so that no one will deceive you with (H)persuasive arguments. 5 For even though I am (I)absent in body, I am nevertheless with you in spirit, rejoicing [b]to see [c]your (J)orderly manner and the (K)stability of your faith in Christ.
6 Therefore, as you have received (L)Christ Jesus the Lord, so [d](M)walk in Him, 7 having been firmly (N)rooted and now being (O)built up in Him and (P)established [e]in [f]your faith, just as you (Q)were instructed, and overflowing [g]with gratitude.
8 (R)See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through (S)philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the (T)elementary principles of the world, [h]rather than in accordance with Christ.

New International Version
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart(A) and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery(B) of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.(C) 4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.(D) 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit(E) and delight to see how disciplined(F) you are and how firm(G) your faith in Christ(H) is.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,(I) continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted(J) and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught,(K) and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,(L) which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world(M) rather than on Christ.

19 and not holding firmly to (A)the head, from whom (B)the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and [a]ligaments, grows with a growth [b]which is from God.
20 (C)If you have died with Christ [c]to the (D)elementary principles of the world, (E)why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to (F)decrees, such as, 21 “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!” 22 (which all refer (G)to things destined to perish [d]with use)—in accordance with the (H)commandments and teachings of man? 23 These are matters which do have the [e]appearance of wisdom in [f](I)self-made religion and humility and (J)severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against (K)fleshly indulgence.

19 They have lost connection with the head,(A) from whom the whole body,(B) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.(C)
20 Since you died with Christ(D) to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,(E) why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:(F) 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish(G) with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings.(H) 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility(I) and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.

Distortion of the Gospel
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting (A)Him who called you [a]by the grace of Christ, for a (B)different gospel, 7 which is not just another account; but there are some who are (C)disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

James 3:13-17
New American Standard Bible
Wisdom from Above
13 Who among you is wise and understanding? (A)Let him show by his (B)good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter (C)jealousy and [a]selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against (D)the truth. 15 This wisdom is not that which comes down (E)from above, but is (F)earthly, [b](G)natural, (H)demonic. 16 For where (I)jealousy and [c]selfish ambition exist, [d]there is disorder and every evil thing. 17 But the wisdom (J)from above is first (K)pure, then (L)peace-loving, (M)gentle, [e]reasonable, (N)full of mercy and good fruits, [f](O)impartial, free of (P)hypocrisy.

Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it(A) by their good life, by deeds(B) done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(C) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(D) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(E) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(F) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(G) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(H) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(I) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(J) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(K)

13 So the word of the Lord to them will be,

Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and (A)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
