Izraeli, nesidžiauk, nedžiūgauk kaip tautos! Tu paleistuvaudamas palikai savo Dievą, pamėgai užmokestį kiekviename klojime.
Hosea 9:1
Jeremijas 2:20

‘Aš jau seniai sulaužiau tavo jungą, sutraukiau pančius, ir tu sakei: ‘Nenusikalsiu’. Tačiau kiekvienoje aukštoje kalvoje ir po kiekvienu žaliu medžiu tu klaidžiojai paleistuvaudamas.

150. Taking Credit
If we do what is good for the credit we may get, we are doing good not out of a love for doing good but out of a love for getting a reward, since if we are looking for credit we want something in return. When we do this we are focusing on pleasure and thinking it is to be found in receiving a reward rather than in doing some good. This means that we are not spiritual people but earthly ones.
