Thematic Bible
Formalism » The insufficiency of
Keep thy feet when thou goest unto a house of God, and draw near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for they do not know they do evil.
And Samuel saith, 'Hath Jehovah had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? lo, hearkening than sacrifice is better; to give attention than fat of rams;
For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.
only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon them.
the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God.
For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give it, Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A heart broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise.
for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit;
But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind;
