God bless!

2 Corinthians 2

  14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
  15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and
in them that perish:
  16 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the
savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
  17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of
sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3

  1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others,
epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
  2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
  3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ
ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God;
not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Matthew 23

  23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint
and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law,
judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the
other undone.
  24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
  25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the
outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion
and excess.
  26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and
platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
  27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto
whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full
of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
  28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are
full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
