But they had forgotten that it was only on condition of obedience to God and His words, and an acknowledging and forsaking of their sins, that God's promises would be fulfilled to them and they could remain His people and church without being removed (3:12-13, 4:1).
Lakini walikuwa wamesahau kwamba ilikuwa ni kwa masharti ya utii kwa Mungu na maneno yake, na kukiri na kuacha dhambi zao, kwamba ndipo ahadi za Mungu zingetimizwa kwao na wangebaki kuwa watu wake na Kanisa bila kuondolewa (3:12-13, 4:1).
