Whereas the rich, in his being brought low, - because, as a flower of grass, he will pass away;

Happy the man who endureth temptation! Because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of life - which he hath promised unto them that love him.

Because he was so minded, he hath brought us forth with a word of truth, to the end we should be a sort of firstfruit of his creatures

Because, if any is, a word-hearer, and not a doer, the same, is like unto a man observing his natural face in a mirror, -

Ye covet - and have not, ye commit murder, and are jealous - and cannot obtain, - ye fight and war. Ye have not - because ye do not really ask,

Ye ask and receive not, because that, basely, ye ask, in order that, in your pleasures, ye may spend it .

Be, ye also, patient, Stablish your hearts, because, the Presence of the Lord, hath drawn near.
