for they cannot do evil,
neither is it in them to do good. - If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

I will sing praise to my God while I have being. - “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.
- Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit,
seen by angels,
proclaimed among the nations,
believed on in the world,
taken up in glory. - For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

and besides me there is no savior. - But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.
