¹⁶ Let ^(A)the word of ^[a]Christ richly dwell within you, ^[b]with all wisdom ^(B)teaching and admonishing ^[c]one another ^(C)with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, ^(D)singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

⁸ But what does it say? “^(A)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

¹⁷ So faith comes from ^(A)hearing, and hearing by ^(B)the word ^[a]of Christ.

¹⁴ On the contrary, the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may ^[a]follow it.
