It had

And Capernaum, do you think you will be lifted up toward heaven [as a proud city]? [No indeed], you will [surely] go down to the place of the unseen [i.e., become obscure or obliterated as a city]. For if the powerful miracles had been performed in Sodom which were performed in your presence, it would have remained [even] until today.

And that slave who knew what his master wanted, but did not make preparations [i.e., for his master's return], or do what his master wanted, will be whipped with many lashes.

Jesus said to them, "If you were [really] blind [i.e., unable to see spiritually], you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim, 'We can see [fine],' you remain guilty of sin."

They would not be guilty of sinning if I had not come and spoken to them. But now [that I have], they have no excuse for their sin.

The way

For John came to show you the way to be right with God, but you would not believe his message. Yet the tax collectors and prostitutes believed it, and when you saw this, even then you did not change your minds so as to believe his message.

Holy

So, the law of Moses itself is holy and the commandment [against sinning] is holy and just and good.

For you know [i.e., are aware of] the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

For some [young widows] have already turned away [from their commitment to God] to serve Satan.
