Remember then who has perished, being pure? Or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?

He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? Blessed is the short-lived offspring of woman.

For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before Him.

He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for their children.

For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.

For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.

I will speak just things truly, and you shall not unjustly receive unjust words.

They will excommunicate you; but a time is coming when everyone who kills you will think that he is offering God a service.

But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Surely] God, the [One] inflicting wrath is not unrighteous, is [He]? (I speak as a man.)

For if by my lie the truth of God has abounded to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

but we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor falsifying the word of God, but by the disclosure of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience before God.
