Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay tithes of mint, dill, and cumin. But you have disregarded the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness.
