Whatever town or village you go into, find out a deserving inhabitant and stay with him till you leave.

Now, produce fruits that answer to your repentance, instead of beginning to say to yourselves, 'We have a father in Abraham.' I tell you, God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones!
