6 Bible Verses about Chanting

Do not let anyone deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, the wrath of God will fall upon people who are disobedient [to Him].

(for the product of light consists of everything good and right and true). Then you will demonstrate [or, "learn about"] a life that is very pleasing to the Lord.

Everything that is done should be for the building up [of the church].
