Malachi 1:12-13
12But you profane it when you say that athe Lord’s table is polluted, and its fruit, that is, its food may be despised. 13But you say, b‘What a weariness this is,’ and you snort at it, says the Lord of hosts. cYou bring what has been taken by violence or is lame or sick, and this you bring as your offering! Shall I accept that from your hand? says the Lord.Malachi 3:14
14You have said, d‘It is vain to serve God. eWhat is the profit of our keeping his charge or of walking as in mourning before the Lord of hosts?Luke 15:7
7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who frepents than over ninety-nine grighteous persons who need no repentance.Luke 19:21
21for I was afraid of you, because you are ha severe man. You take iwhat you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’Revelation of John 2:17
17 jHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. kTo the one who conquers I will give some of lthe hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with ma new name written on the stone nthat no one knows except the one who receives it.’
