Woe to you, Bethsaida! because, if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes; nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.read more.

Who also qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

Having, therefore, such hope, we use great boldness of speech; and not as Moses, who put a veil over his face, that the sons of Israel might not look steadily to the end of that which was passing away.
