25And you have said: The way of the Lord is not right. Hear you, therefore, OH house of Israel: Is it my way that is not right, and are not rather your ways perverse?

26For when the righteous turneth himself away from his righteousness, and committeth sin, he shall die in it: in the injustice that he has wrought he shall die.

27And when the evil turneth himself away from his evil, which he has wrought, and does judgment, and righteousness: he shall save his soul alive.

28Because he considereth and turneth away himself from all his sins which he has wrought, he shall surely live, and not die.

4Let all them be put to shame that act unjust things without cause. Show, OH Lord, your ways to me, and teach me your paths.

5Direct me in your truth, and teach me; for you art God my Saviour; and on you have I waited all the day long.

6Remember, OH Lord, your bowels of compassion; and your mercies that are from the start of the world.

7The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to your mercy remember you me: for your goodness' sake, OH Lord.

8The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.

9He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the gentle his ways.

1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:

2Fulfil you my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.

3Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:

4Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's.

5For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.

8He humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.

9For which cause God also has exalted him, and has given him a name which is above all names:

10That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:

11And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

28But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

29And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.

30And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.

31Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus says to them: Amen I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.

32For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
