Footnote

a Christians are often called on to weigh Bible principles carefully. We need to understand how Bible principles relate to one another and to decisions that we may need to make. We can use our God-given power of reason, or thinking abilities, to make balanced decisions that will have Jehovah’s approval and blessing. In the first century, this way of worship was a change for many Jews who had become Christians. They had previously lived their life following the many rules dictated by tradition.
