^47 (A)And that servant who ^(B)knew his master's will but ^(C)did not get ready ^(D)or act according to his will, will receive a ^(E)severe beating.

^17 (A)So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, ^(A)you would have no guilt;^[a] but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains.

^48 (A)The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; ^(B)the word that I have spoken will judge him ^(C)on the last day.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, ^(A)they would not have been guilty of sin,^[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. ^23 (B)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. ^24 (C)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, ^(D)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have ^(E)seen and hated both me and my Father.

² then if the guilty man deserves to be beaten, the judge shall cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes in proportion to his offense. ^3 (A)Forty stripes may be given him, but not more, lest, if one should go on to beat him with more stripes than these, your brother be degraded in your sight.

^30 (A)The times of ignorance ^(B)God overlooked, but ^(C)now he ^(D)commands all people everywhere to repent,

^30 (A)But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. ³¹ Because he has ^(B)despised the word of the Lord and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.”

¹⁵ For we are the aroma of Christ to God among ^(A)those who are being saved and among ^(B)those who are perishing, ^16 (C)to one a fragrance from death to death, ^(D)to the other a fragrance from life to life. ^(E)Who is sufficient for these things?
