2 Corinthians 10:1

Therefore, [Prov. 4:26 says], "Strengthen your limp hands and weak knees;
Hebrews 12:25-28
Pay careful attention so that you do not refuse [to hear] God when He speaks to you. [See verse 9]. For if those people [i.e., the Israelites] did not escape [judgment] when they refused [to hear] Him who warned them on earth [i.e., God speaking through Moses at Mount Sinai], how much less [likely] will we escape [judgment] if we reject Him who warns from heaven [i.e., Christ]?

Continue to love [one another] as brothers.
