Col. 1:23
if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation[g] under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Psalm 50:7-15
“Hear, O my people, and I will speak;
O Israel, I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.
8
Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;
your burnt offerings are continually before me.
9
I will not accept a bull from your house
or goats from your folds.
10
For every beast of the forest is mine,
the cattle on a thousand hills.
11
I know all the birds of the hills,
and all that moves in the field is mine.
12
“If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world and its fullness are mine.
13
Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14
Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,[b]
and perform your vows to the Most High,
15
and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.”
