"Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge. An ungodly witness scorneth judgment" (Proverbs 19:27,28). "Ye... rejoice in a thing of nought" (Amos 6:13). "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him" (1 Corinthians 2:14).
The natural man will not receive
The things which must be Spirit taught.
He scorns the things he should believe
And boasts of things which are of nought.
The natural man has thus neglected
To heed the things that God has said.
His teaching, then, should be rejected:
Believe the Word of God instead!
We thank You for Your Spirit, Lord,
And for Your Word, which we now hold,
Dividing as a two-edged sword
The Word of Truth that You unfold.
