"He who lovesfatherormothermorethanMe is not worthyof Me; and he who lovessonordaughtermore thanMe is not worthyof Me.
"Do not call[anyone] on earthyour father;for Oneis your Father,He who is in heaven.
And he answered,"YOU SHALL LOVETHE LORDYOUR GODWITH ALLYOUR HEART,AND WITH ALLYOUR SOUL,AND WITH ALLYOUR STRENGTH,AND WITH ALLYOUR MIND;AND YOUR NEIGHBORAS YOURSELF."
since indeedGodwhowill justifythe circumcisedby faithand the uncircumcisedthroughfaithis one.
Thereforeconcerningthe eatingof things sacrificed to idols,we knowthat there is nosuch thingas an idolin the world,and that there is noGodbut one.
Nowa mediatoris not for one[party only]; whereasGodis [only] one.
