⁶ But He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written:

^16 (A)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they ^(B)deny Him, being ^(C)detestable and ^(D)disobedient and ^(E)worthless ^(F)for any good deed.

³¹ And they come to you as people come, and sit before you as My people and hear your words, but they do not do them; for they do the lustful desires expressed by their ^(A)mouth, and their heart follows their unlawful ^(B)gain. ³² And behold, you are to them like a love song by one who has a ^(C)beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument; for they hear your words but they do not practice them.

²⁴ The one who does not love Me ^(A)does not follow My words; and ^(B)the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

⁶ No one who remains in Him ^(A)sins continually; no one who sins continually has seen Him or ^[a](B)knows Him.

^22 (A)But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves.
