Temptation to Formality in Religion
Scripture
KJV
Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
ESV
Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
Revelation 3:2
Poem
God is a Spirit just and wise;
He sees our inmost mind:
In vain to heaven we raise our cries,
And leave our souls behind.
