1 Do not put your confidence in your money or say, 'With this I am self-sufficient.' | |
2 Do not be led by your appetites and energy to follow the passions of your heart. | |
3 And do not say, 'Who has authority over me?' for the Lord will certainly give you your deserts. | |
4 Do not say, 'I have sinned, but what harm has befal en me?' for the Lord's forbearance is long. | |

8 Do not set your heart on il -gotten gains, they wil be of no use to you on the day of disaster. | |

15 Avoid offences in great as in smal matters, and do not exchange friendship for enmity, |
