1Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness.

2Follow not in thy strength the desires of thy heart:

3And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge.

4Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder.

5Be not without fear about sin forgiven, and add not sin upon sin:

6And say not: The mercy of the Lord is great, he will have mercy on the multitude of my sins.

7For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners.

8Delay not to be converted to the Lord, and defer it not from day to day.

1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:

2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

6For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

13Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed.

41And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea.

42And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:

43Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

44And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:

45Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

46And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:

47Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

48For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

49Salt is good. But if the salt become unsavoury, wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you: and have peace among you.
