4:20
you may be sure of it ; remember the proverb , `` They say and do not . '' -LSB- Matt . 23:3 -RSB- But the kingdom of God is not in word , but in Power . -LSB- 1 Cor 4:20 -RSB- He talketh of prayer , of repentance , of faith , and of the new birth ; but he knows but only to talk of them . I have been in his family , and have observed him both at home and abroad ; and I know what I say of him is the truth . His house is as empty of religion as the white of an egg is of savour . There is there neither prayer nor sign of repentance for sin ; yea , the brute in his kind serves God far better than he .
