In the heat of an argument, John and Sarah's emotions escalated, and their words became sharp and hurtful. Seeking to gain leverage, Sarah exclaimed, "Well, maybe if you actually read the Bible instead of just collecting dust on the shelf, you would understand the meaning of love and forgiveness!" John, feeling attacked, fired back, "Don't twist the scriptures to fit your narrative! The Bible also emphasizes mutual respect and submission, which you conveniently forget!" As their voices grew louder, both unintentionally disregarded the wisdom of the biblical teachings they were trying to invoke, losing sight of the true message of love, understanding, and compassion.
