Thematic Bible
Formalism » The insufficiency of
Watch thy feet when thou goest to the house of God and draw near with more willingness to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know how to do what God wants.
And Samuel said, Does the LORD have as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in hearing the voice of the LORD? Behold, to hear is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
but in foods and drinks and different washings and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of correction.
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the commandments of God.
For thou dost not desire sacrifice or else would I give it; thou dost not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
But food does not make us more acceptable unto God; for neither if we eat are we the better, neither if we eat not are we the worse.
