deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. - Therefore let us go on toward perfection, leaving behind the basic teaching about Christ, and not laying again the foundation: repentance from dead works and faith toward God, instruction about baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

a tree from the forest is cut down,
and worked with an ax by the hands of an artisan;
people deck it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

and they cannot speak;
they have to be carried,
for they cannot walk.
Do not be afraid of them,
for they cannot do evil,
nor is it in them to do good. - I cried aloud to him,
and he was extolled with my tongue. - In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side.

When I fed them, they were satisfied;
they were satisfied, and their heart was proud;
therefore they forgot me.And do not bring us to the time of trial,
but rescue us from the evil one.
