SCRIPTURE
"They are of the world: therefore speak they [as] of the world, and the world heareth them." — 1 John 4:5 (ASV)
They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
They are the world's prophets, they preach the world's doctrines, they flatter the world, and the world likes that, so the world hears them.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
When people say to you, "Everybody says so-and-so," that is not the reason why you should believe it. "All the men of advanced thought, – all the scholars of the age, speak thus;" yes, just so: They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
