pretending to be doctors of the law, tho' they neither understand what they advance, nor upon what it is founded.

for the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but get teachers of their own corrupt taste, to sooth their ears that itch for flattery:

who ought to be curb'd, who pervert whole families, teaching things which they ought not, for sordid lucre.

whoever therefore shall break any commandment, tho' of the least importance, and shall teach men so to do, shall not have the least admittance into the kingdom of the Messias: but whoever shall do and teach them, he shall be great in the kingdom of the Messias.
