- Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one.
- The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is a wonderful teacher,
and he gives the farmer great wisdom. - But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life.

- Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?
- Christ is also the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first in everything. - But we have sinned and done wrong. We have rebelled against you and scorned your commands and regulations.
- But from there you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.
- Do not add to or subtract from these commands I am giving you. Just obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you.

- Wash yourselves and be clean!
Get your sins out of my sight.
Give up your evil ways. - But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!
