1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.

Man may escape the punishment that seems due for his mis-doings in this life; but every deed and word and thought has its own results.

When the wrongs have all been righted then will man arise and be at one with God.

Do we "say, and do not?"
