Malachi 1:6(NKJV) “A son honors his father, And a servant his master. If then I am the Father, Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts To you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’

Malachi 1:7-9(NKJV) “You offer defiled food on My altar, But say, ‘In what way have we defiled You?’ By saying, ‘The table of the Lord is contemptible.’ And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?” Says the Lord of hosts. “But now entreat God’s favor, That He may be gracious to us. While this is being done by your hands, Will He accept you favorably?” Says the Lord of hosts.

Hebrew 10:14(NLT) For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy.

1 Corinthians 15:23(NIV) But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.

Malachi 1:12-13a(NKJV) “But you profane it, In that you say, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled; And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’ You also say, ‘Oh, what a weariness!’

Matthew 20:28(NLT) For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

6.



Malachi 1:14(NKJV) “But cursed be the deceiver Who has in his flock a male, And takes a vow, But sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished—For I am a great King,” Says the Lord of hosts, “And My name is to be feared among the nations.
