Jeremiah 7:8-11
8“Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail. 9 aWill you steal, murder, commit adultery, bswear falsely, cmake offerings to Baal, dand go after other gods that you have not known, 10and then come and stand before me in this house, ewhich is called by my name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—only to go on doing all these abominations? 11 fHas this house, gwhich is called by my name, hbecome a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, declares the Lord.Amos 5:21-22
21 i“I hate, I despise your feasts,and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 jEven though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
Matthew 23:25-28
25 k“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For lyou clean the outside of mthe cup and the plate, but inside they are full of ngreed and self-indulgence. 26You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of othe cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.27 p“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like qwhitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and rall uncleanness. 28So you also soutwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of thypocrisy and lawlessness.
Romans 2:28-29
28For uno one is a Jew vwho is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29But a Jew is one winwardly, and xcircumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. yHis praise is not from man but from God.1 Corinthians 10:1-5
Warning Against Idolatry
1For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters
that our fathers were all under aathe cloud, and all abpassed through the sea, 2and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3and acall ate the same adspiritual food, 4and aeall drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 5Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for afthey were overthrown ▼▼Or were laid low
in the wilderness.
