A fool will believe anything; smart people watch their step.

"Listen! I am sending you out just like sheep to a pack of wolves. You must be as cautious as snakes and as gentle as doves.

Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead---and that is where you are going.

'You began to build but can't finish the job!' they will say.

As long as it is day, we must do the work of him who sent me; night is coming when no one can work.

Practice these things and devote yourself to them, in order that your progress may be seen by all.

Watch yourself and watch your teaching. Keep on doing these things, because if you do, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
