Psalms 51:15
15O Lord, open my lips,and my mouth will declare your praise.
A very curious formulation. Who acts? Who tells whom to act? In the Jewish prayer service, it's translated as "Eternal God, open my lips, that my mouth shall declare your glory."

7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

Titus 1:16
16They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

John 15:14-15
14You are my friends if you do what I command.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends... (The main reference that Quakers used in calling themselves Friends.) Also, gives an odd perspective on 'worship,' when we take that word literally. How do we 'worship' someone who would rather be our friend than our lord?
