Our rejoicing

If he shall slay me shall I not hope? only I will prove my ways to his face.

For he knew the way with me,: he tried me.; I shall come forth as gold.

Far be it to me if I shall justify you: till I expire I will not remove my integrity from me.

O Jehovah my God, if I did this, if there is iniquity in my hand;

All this came to us, and we did not forget thee, and we lied not in thy covenant

And he will say, O Jehovah, remember now how I went before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and I did the good in thine eyes: And Hezekiah will weep a great weeping.

And in this I myself attend carefully, to have a conscience unhurt towards God and men always.

I Speak truth in Christ, I lie not, my consciousness bearing witness to me in the Holy Spirit,

For I know nothing by myself; but in this I have not been justified: and he examining me is the Lord.

And let each try his own work, and then in himself alone will he have boasting, and not in another.

(And the end of the proclamation is love out of a pure heart, and a good consciousness, and unfeigned faith:

Pray for us: for we have trusted that we have a good consciousness, in all things wishing to be well occupied.

Having a good consciousness; that, in what they speak evil against you, as doing evil, they threatening your good turning round in Christ should be ashamed.

And in this we know that we are of the truth, and we will yield our hearts before him.

Simplicity

And I am afraid lest, as the serpent completely deceived Eve in his craft, so your thoughts be corrupted from the simplicity which in Christ.

For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

General references

And in this I myself attend carefully, to have a conscience unhurt towards God and men always.

Giving no offence in any thing, that the service be not blamed:

Dearly beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have freedom of speech towards God.
