You are not a God of
half-way measures,
nor do you call us to modest
responses:
our song to you is to be
a new song,
and all the earth should
sing it;
the best of the first
fruits
were to be sacrificed;
if one part of the body
causes us to sin, we cut
it off and throw it
away;
we are to love one another
and you in an
abounding love.
