Col 2:23Tit 1:14Col 2:8Mrk 7:6-8Mat 7:3-5Mrk 7:13 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ 1 and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 2 Exo 20:12Exo 21:17Lev 20:9Deu 21:18-21Deu 5:16Pro 23:22Lev 19:3Mat 19:19 But you say, ‘Whoever may tell his father or his mother, “Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God,” Mrk 7:10-13Act 5:29Mat 23:16-18Act 4:19Amo 7:15-17Lev 27:9-34Pro 20:25 he shall not honor his father or mother.’ You have made the commandment of God void because of your tradition. 1Ti 5:8Jer 8:8Mrk 7:13Psa 119:1261Ti 5:161Ti 5:3-4Hos 4:6Mal 2:7-9 You hypocrites!
