For who distinguisheth thee? and what hast thou which thou hast not received? But if thou also hast received it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

Art thou called being a slave? let it give thee no concern; but if thou canst also obtain thy freedom, rather make use of it.

For if any man see thee that hast knowledge, sitting in an idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?

Nor can the eye say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
