they find no pleasure in it.

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel. When you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me.

Then, if anyone hears the sound of the trumpet but ignores the warning, and the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head.

to one is given a message of wisdom
through the Spirit,
to another, a message of knowledge
by the same Spirit,

Also, regard the patience of our Lord as an opportunity for salvation, just as our dear brother Paul has written to you according to the wisdom given to him.

We may

But now He has reconciled you by His physical body through His death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before Him—

For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, because I have promised you in marriage to one husband—to present a pure virgin to Christ.

He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless.

Perfect

and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.

But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became God-given wisdom for us—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption,

for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.

equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. Glory belongs to Him forever and ever.

Amen.
