If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
A dishonest man detests the righteous, and the upright in their ways detest the wicked.
