The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. § The Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith.Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season.

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . . . and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.The kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea.For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! … I have become all things...
