and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant,

it could not be so: but let God be true, and every man a liar; as indeed it has been written, In order that you may be justified in your words, and shall prevail, in your judgment.

are we not indeed thus traduced, and as some say we speak, that, Let us do evil in order that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
