Bible Note: It is verse 5, but, verse 3 begins the context. I think it is hard if we try by ourselves. As with all we do ... we need Christ. We need to study the Word and know what we do is right. It can be hard to stand up and tell the false teachers that they are wrong. We do not want to offend. Even more so if they are over you, or if you are in the military and the chapalin (who outranks you) preaches falsehood as truth. |
