You have said, It is vanity to serve God. And, What unjust profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked as mourners before Jehovah of Hosts?
If according to man I fought with beasts in Ephesus, what is the profit to me if the dead ones are not raised? (“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”). Isa. 22:13.)
Do not be carried away by various and strange doctrine; for it is good that the heart be confirmed by grace, not by foods, in which those walking in them were not profited.
