| John 5:44,12:43 44 How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that only comes from God? [From the Word of the Lord within: "Look not for the approval of men. Those who seek the honor of men will know no other."] 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.5 [From the Word of the Lord within: "Look not for the approval of men. Those who seek the honor of men will know no other."] | Romans 2:29 29 But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and the circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit,5 and not by the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God. [The Spirit circumcises your heart, cutting away the sins as you wait on God to receive his grace that both charges sin and then removes sin, purifying a peculiar people zealous for good works. Reading about sin in the Bible does not remove the desire for sin from your heart; only the Spirit does that.] | ||||||||
