For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son

 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:19–20 NET)

 A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that’s not his is like one who grabs a dog by the ears. (Proverbs 26:17 HCSB)

Don’t be excessively righteous, and don’t be overly wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Don’t be excessively wicked, and don’t be foolish. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you grasp the one and do not let the other slip from your hand. For the one who fears God will end up with both of them. (Ecclesiastes 7:16–18 HCSB)

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. (Hebrews 8:13 NET)
