Joash’s Treachery

20 ⁱThen the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah ^jthe son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, ^k‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? ^lBecause you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’” 21 But ^mthey conspired against him, ⁿand by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah’s father, had shown him, but killed his son. And when he was dying, he said, “May the Lord see ^oand avenge!” ^{▼▼Hebrew and seek}

5 ^rLet a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;

Galatians 3:1-4

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? ^tIt was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly ^uportrayed as crucified. 2 Let me ask you only this: ^vDid you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by ^whearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? ^xHaving begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by ^{▼▼Or now ending with} the flesh? 4 ^zDid you suffer ^{▼▼Or experience} so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
