Then his lord called for him again, and said to him, Thou wicked slave, I forgave thee all that vast debt at thy request,

and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self.

Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self?

I can do nothing of my self: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father that hath sent me.

If I alone bear witness of my self, my testimony is not true in law:

Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? as to the words which I speak to you, I speak them not of my self; and the Father who abideth in me, doth the works.

and sinneth as being self-condemned.

I Paul have written it with my own hand, I will pay it: not to say that thou indeed owest even thy own self to me.

especially those who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise authority; who, being audacious and self-willed, are not afraid to speak evil of dignities:

and the kings of the earth, and the grandees, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caverns and in the rocks of the mountains;
