Teach me that which I do not see; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more.

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go; I will fix mine eyes upon thee.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

I said, I will take heed to my ways that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bit while the wicked is against me.

For we all offend in many things. If any man offends not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to govern the whole body with restraint.

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; cause me to understand why thou dost contend with me.

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.
