Worthlessness

For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

With lofty but empty words, they appeal to the sensual passions of the flesh and entice those who are just escaping from others who live in error.
