Scripture for Sunday September 29, 2024
Jude 1:5-7
I will therefore put you in remembrance ....
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
To know and to do
Are a strange set of two
And the one will play upon the other
For to do and not know
Is a lucky sort of show
And we smirk on it one with another
Now to know and to do
Grants good purpose its due
And skill assures all those who love her
Yet to know and not do
Is the wresting of the two
And it comes with its own sort of tether
So to do and to know
With the good all in tow
Is a charity shared with another
But when we are remiss
Our lack will consist
In knowing but doing no other

"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
