or the son of man, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act,
does he promise and then not fulfill it? - Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace when we are in need of help.

remain in you.
If what you heard from the beginning
remains in you,

- When the command is given, at the sound of the archangel’s voice and the call of God’s trumpet, the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and those who have died in Christ will be the first to rise.

- However, if you truly amend your ways and your deeds, if you are upright in your dealings with your neighbor; if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, and the widow; if you do not shed innocent blood in this place; and if you do not follow other gods and thereby cause your own destruction, then I will allow you to live in this place, in the land that I gave as a permanent gift to your fathers long ago.

- Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by mutual consent for a specified time so as to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan may not tempt you by taking advantage of your lack of self-control.
- Remember this, my beloved brethren: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak and slow to anger.

human beings who must perish like grass?
