to whom be glory forever and ever! Amen.

Brothers and sisters, I offer an example from everyday life: When a covenant has been ratified, even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.

But now that you have come to know God (or rather to be known by God), how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless basic forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?

I am confident in the Lord that you will accept no other view. But the one who is confusing you will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
