and so the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham put his faith in God, and it was credited to him for uprightness, and he was called God's friend."

If we put bridles into horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can guide their whole bodies, too.

You faithless wives! Do you not know that the friendship of the world means enmity with God? So whoever wants to be a friend to the world puts himself down as an enemy to God.

You must be patient, too; you must put iron into your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is close at hand.
