Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to (D)the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, (E)that we may be partakers of His holiness.

Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? 31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he [a]shall surely die.”
