Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar?

and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, 'God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he will flee from you;

be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness;

Go, now, ye rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are coming upon you;

and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have committed, they shall be forgiven to him.
