ଯିଖରିୟ 1:4
ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ପୁଣି କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣଙ୍କ ପରି ବ୍ଯବହାର କର ନାହିଁ। ପୂର୍ବ ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତାଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଛନ୍ତି, 'ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରନ୍ତି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଡୀବନଧାରଣର କୁପଥ ବଦଳାଅ ଓ କୁକର୍ମରୁ ନିବୃତ୍ତ ହୁଅ।' କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହେି ପୂର୍ବପୁରୁଷଗଣ ଆମ୍ଭେ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣିଲେ ନାହିଁ। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଏହିସବୁ କହନ୍ତି।
