Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The instruction is to abandon all varieties of religion.
In their place, one is asked to surrender wholly to the speaker: “just surrender unto Me.”
The promise is deliverance from all sinful reactions, together with the assurance: “Do not fear.”
