Psalms 106:13
13 But they soon aforgot his works;they did not wait for bhis counsel.
Isaiah 29:13
13 And the Lord said:“Because cthis people ddraw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
Jeremiah 2:12-13
12Be appalled, eO heavens, at this;be shocked, be utterly desolate,
declares the Lord,
13for my people have committed two evils:
fthey have forsaken gme,
the fountain of hliving waters,
and hewed out cisterns for themselves,
broken cisterns that can hold no water.
Galatians 3:1-5
By Faith, or by Works of the Law?
1O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? iIt was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly jportrayed as crucified. 2Let me ask you only this: kDid you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by lhearing with faith? 3Are you so foolish? mHaving begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by ▼▼Or now ending with
the flesh? 4 oDid you suffer ▼▼Or experience
so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and qworks miracles among you do so rby works of the law, or by hearing with faith— Galatians 4:9-15
9But now that you have come to know God, or rather sto be known by God, thow can you turn back again to uthe weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 vYou observe days and months and seasons and years! 11I am afraid wI may have labored over you in vain.12Brothers, ▼
▼Or Brothers and sisters; also verses 28, 31
yI entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. zYou did me no wrong. 13You know it was aabecause of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you abat first, 14and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me acas an angel of God, adas Christ Jesus. 15What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me. Galatians 5:4
4You are aesevered from Christ, afyou who would be justified ▼▼Or counted righteous
by the law; ahyou have fallen away from grace. Galatians 5:7
7 aiYou were running well. Who hindered you from obeying ajthe truth?
