The truth

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of men, who hold back the truth with injustice;

For they themselves tell of us what an entrance we had unto you and in what manner ye were converted to God from idols to serve the living and true God

But we know that the Son of God is come and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Into a lie

The ashes feed him; his deceived heart inclines him, that he not deliver his soul and say, Is not the lie at my right hand?

Every man is carnal in his knowledge: let every founder be ashamed of his graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no spirit in them.

This shall be thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me said the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the time of the affliction; Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things in which there is no profit.

Thus hath the LORD said: For three transgressions of Judah and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they have despised the law of the LORD and have not kept his statutes, and their lies caused them to err after which their fathers have walked:

And he said unto them, Draw out now and bear unto the butler. And they bore it.

Of what profit is the graven image that its maker has sculpted; the molten image, that teaches lies, so that in making dumb images the maker trusts in his work?

The creature

and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and of fourfooted beasts and of serpents.

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.

He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

traitors, rash, puffed up, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,

Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

Who is

whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh is the Christ, who is God over all things, blessed for all the ages. Amen.

And blessed be his glorious name for ever, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen.

Aleph I will extol thee, my God, my king, and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for evermore, knows that I do not lie.

unto him be glory in the congregation by Christ Jesus throughout all generations of the ages of the ages. Amen.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
