and knowest his will, and hast experience of good and bad, in that thou art informed by the law:

and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

As it is written, "I have made thee a father to many nations," even before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and called those things which be not, as though they were.

Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

If, however, some of the branches, have been broken out, and, thou, being a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and hast become a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive,

by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

For, if, thou, out of the naturally wild olive was cut out, and, beyond nature, hast been engrafted into the good olive, how much rather, shall these, the natural branches be engrafted into their own olive tree?

The faith which thou hast, have to thyself before God: happy, he that bringeth not judgment upon himself by that which he approveth;
