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

God forbid: but let God be true, though every man were a liar; as it is written, "That thou mayest be acknowledged just in thy sayings, and overcome when thou art judged."

Let not therefore sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the passions thereof.

And David saith, "Let their table be for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompence unto them:

let their eyes be blinded, that they may not see, and bow down their back continually."

or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that distributes, let him do it with simplicity; he that presideth, with diligence; he that is employed in acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be undissembled. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

LET every soul be subject to the superior powers: for there is no power but from God; the existing powers are appointed by God.

The night is far advanced, the day approaches: let us therefore put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

Let us walk becomingly as in the face of day, not in revels and drunkenness, not in impurities and wantonness, not in strife and envy.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not, and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth; for God hath accepted him.

One man judgeth one day different from another day: another judgeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

Let us therefore no more judge one another; but judge this rather, that no one put a stumbling-block or offence before his brother.

Let not therefore food, which is good for you, give occasion of reproach.

Well then, let us earnestly pursue the things that conduce to peace, and the things which are for mutual edification.

Let every one of us gratify his neighbour in that which is good for his edification.

And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and laud him, all ye people."

(who for my life have laid down their own neck: to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles:)
