The Word of God is powerful and effective, bringing peace and tranquility to those who hear it. The task remains steadfast, and it persists. This sword is razor-sharp, able to cut through to the heart of things. The oracle is able to discern the state of nature and the movements of the axis of power with precision. Together, they sang religious hymns and composed devotional poems of praise to God. The words of Christ filled their hearts with joy, and they used their wisdom to encourage and advise one another. Praise God with heartfelt song and poetry, cherishing His presence in your hearts. Jesus answered, "Have you never read," "From the lips of  children and abandoned babes have you uttered praise"?How can you believe that if you only listen to the flattering words from one another, without doing anything to try to receive praise from the just God, you will be successful? The Israelites loved the admiration and adulation of humans more than they loved the approval of God. This was because Herod failed to give God the credit for his accomplishments. An avenging angel of the Lord suddenly struck him down, and he was quickly eaten by worms and died. Likewise, please accept each other as Christ has accepted you, so that you may bring glory to God. I will extol God's unfailing love for us, as it is written. Thank the Lord, all of you who are Gentiles, and let us loudly sing his praises. You are countless, and there is no end to your number! I cannot take credit for what you have done, because it only causes more hurt. Through Jesus, we can offer up praises to God over and over again as a way of showing our gratitude. This is the voice of those who constantly speak of the great things Jesus has done. What do you think about Jesus Christ? The man looked to his left and saw a young man with beautiful, long brown hair. The man had known the young man for many years, and he had known the young man's father too. "Son of David," they replied. How can he remain his son, when we do not recognize him? The Lord then pledged to my Lord that he would sit at his right hand until he defeated his powerful enemies. David calls him "Lord," The Lord will fulfill the pledge. The Lord says Hypocrites! Wow to you who preach justice and righteous, but you don't follow your own teaching. You close the door to the eternal kingdom of heaven in men's appearances, sealing their fate from view. You yourself do not receive and you will not allow those who are trying to receive. Woe to you who work closely with your converts, sending missionaries to foreign countries to bring them into your faith. But when you finally obtain one, you make him a full-fledged member of Hell. You who swear by heaven, weep over your folly! You swear by God's eternal throne and by the one who sits on it.You foolishly search for a gnat, but swallow a camel! You would be well-advised to clean not the outside of the cup and dish, but the inside. Woe to you, you seem ethical to people in general, but inside you are full of conscious hypocrisy and cruelty.
