Hypocrites who won't walk. (Matthew 23:13-15)

Sorta. I do get why 14 is left out of the NLT version and put as a note at the bottom. It's not about the punishment; actions have consequences after all. Good or ill. Choosing GOD or trying to be God. There is always an outcome. Justice and Mercy will always be seen because GOD is greater and they of HIM. It struck me that each of these call out moments speaks to the fails we see in the churches, failure moments that were happening when the books were written as much as they are happening now. We need to live the Love we say we believe and rise about the pettiness of this world; because if we fail to love we are nothing but the clanging of a noisy gong.
