Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
