The Lord will come into the world, and will teach the Word in its purity. 11 4 The church, doctrine, and worship will then be as they had been among the ancients. 11 5, 6 The Lord will then execute judgment upon all who 15 have adulterated and destroyed the truths of the church. 2 7 They have done this from the beginning, and do not desist from it, 2, 3 8, 9 nor do they desist from adulteration, therefore this will bring about their ruin. 3, 2 10-12 If they had lived according to the statutes, they would have been in the good of the church. 2 13-15 They have confirmed themselves in this, that good is of no profit and that evil does no harm, because the good and the wicked are alike prosperous. 2 16 It is otherwise with those who trust in the Lord; 11, 1 17 they will be blessed of the Lord when He comes. 11, 1 18 Then the difference will be seen, 3, 11.
