1 Corinthians 15:33 clearly says “bad company corrupts good character.” Based on this passage of Scripture, I believe it is okay to cut anything toxic things of your life, including people. Cut out the bad company. Cut those who would cause you to stumble, fall into sin, or affect your faith.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
2 Timothy 3:1-17
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. …
Proverbs 13:20
Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.
Romans 14:1-23
As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. …
Proverbs 22:24
Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,
2 Timothy 3:1-5
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Because the daily and weekly environment that you spend your life in will have a big effect on how you think, feel and – as an extension of that – the actions you take or do not take.
The books you read, messages you listen to, videos you watch and the people you spend your days with do have a big influence on you and the direction you’re heading.
So consciously create the environment that you want to live in that will lift you up and support you.
To do that you may – from time to time – have to find ways to spend less time with some people or to not spend any time with one or a few negative people that drag you down or hold you back.
It’s amazing how quickly things can turn around when you remove toxic people from your life.
It’s okay to cut ties with toxic friends and family you’ve got to prioritize your own well-being.
It’s very possible and very okay to forgive someone and still not want to spend time with them. You’ll never really see how toxic someone is until you breathe fresher air. As you remove toxic people from your life, you free up space and emotional energy for positive, healthy relationships. You don’t have to feel guilty for cutting them off. It was the right thing to do. And believe me, if it were the other way around. They would have done the same thing too. Choose you, always you. Even a family member can be a negative person in your life and that is not always easy to accept or to do something about if for your own sake. But it can become necessary to at least limit the time you spend with someone to be able to grow as a person and improve your self-worth.
Cutting someone completely off from your life is sometimes necessary for your peace. Don’t feel guilty about it.Cutting people from your life does not mean you hate them. It simply means you respect yourself.
Make sure everybody in your boat is rowing and not drilling holes when you’re not looking. I will not allow anyone to walk in my mind with dirty feet. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you. People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.
James 5:19-20
My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Luke 17:3
Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him,
Psalm 55:1-23
To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me. My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. …
2 Thessalonians 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Leviticus 20:10-16
Don’t let negative and toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out. Life is short. Don’t waste it with negative people who don’t appreciate you. Keep them in your heart but keep them out of your life. As important as it is to learn how to deal with different kinds of people, truly toxic people will never be worth your time and energy – and they take a lot of each. Toxic people create unnecessary complexity, strife, and, worst of all, stress.
Some people create their own storms and then get mad when it rains. Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it. Cutting people out of your life doesn’t mean you hate them, it simply means you respect yourself. Not everyone is meant to stay. I think most people know when they’re in a toxic relationship – it requires an enormous amount of effort to keep it going, and you don’t get what you want from it. Cut off fake people for real reasons, not real people for fake reasons.
Because at some point you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life. I’m slowly cutting people off. Because I have some people in my life who should’ve been cut off a long time a ago. But it’s not been easy to do that.
What’s more toxic than what they have done, think, or have said about you is how you let your mind receive it. In a world as ours filled with so much noise and hate, what suffers the most is our minds. Know when to keep your mind shut!
I don’t have time to make people understand my worth. Either you recognize it and treat me right or be cut off. You don’t let go of a bad relationship because you stop caring about them. You let go because you start caring about yourself. People inspire you or they drain you. Pick them wisely. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions for your own good, to not allow more harm to come to yourself and to finally be able to grow from your potential self to your best self.
We all have those toxic people around us that make our lives miserable… The day we take them out from our lives, we will all become better people; including them…
Cutting people off doesn’t have limits. Family can get cut off too, if they are causing you stress. Eliminate any negativity from your circle.Pay no attention to toxic words. What people say is often a reflection of themselves, not you.
Matthew 7:1-2
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.
James 1:19-20
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Acts 8:9-13
But there was a man named Simon, who had previously practiced magic in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was somebody great. They all paid attention to him, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the power of God that is called Great.” And they paid attention to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his magic. But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Even Simon himself believed, and after being baptized he continued with Philip. And seeing signs and great miracles performed, he was amazed.

Revelation 22:24
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.
Romans 1:26-2:1
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, …

And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
1 Corinthians 11:1-34
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. …
Leviticus 19:19
“You shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle breed with a different kind. You shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor shall you wear a garment of cloth made of two kinds of material.
Leviticus 18:22
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
Matthew 10:34-39
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. …

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
