to the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might in any way save some.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he who leads souls is wise.

Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

Wives, likewise, be subject to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the Word, they, without a word, may be won by the behavior of their wives,

when they observe your pure behavior with fear.
