Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.
not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre, but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money,
But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.
