A religious person gives God a bad name. O wns the head knowledge of what is right and wrong. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. It would be better if they had never known the right way to live than to know it and then reject the holy commandments that were given to them. N urtures a condescending attitude.
Y ields no fruit in action .
You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. A heart that is tamed by the word . Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart .
