- The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
A broken and a contrite heart, God, You will not despise. - You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by the Law; you have fallen from grace.
- In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
- Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.
- And sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
- For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
- For they exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature, and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do those things that are not proper. - Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust.
