- “All things are lawful,” you may say—but not all things are beneficial. All things may be lawful—but not all things are constructive.
- Where can I go to hide from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I take my rest in the netherworld, you are also there. - When you fix your gaze upon it,

- They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and offered worship and service to the creature rather than to the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural practices. Likewise, men gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameful acts with men and received in their own persons the fitting penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since these people did not see fit to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their depraved way of thinking and to all types of vile behavior.

and defend the rights of the destitute. - Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time he may exalt you.
- The one who leads a blameless life
and does what is right,
who speaks the truth from the heart
and does not slander anyone,
who does not harm a friend
and does not scorn a neighbor. - Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may advance on the path to salvation.
- The words of a wise man win favor,
but a fool’s tongue is his undoing. - Woe to anyone who rises up against his Maker,
or to the pot that is displeased with the potter.

Your work makes no sense.” - O Lord, at daybreak you hear my voice;

and await your reply. - For just as in one body we have many parts, and the parts do not all have the same function, so we, though many, make up one body in Christ, and individually we are all parts of one another.
