¹⁰² I have not turned aside from thine ordinances; For thou hast taught me.

²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

⁷ Now therefore, `my' sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.

⁴⁰ and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.

²⁰ But ye did not so learn Christ;

²¹ if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:

²² that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

²³ and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

²⁴ and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

¹³ And for this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that, when ye received from us the word of the message, `even the word' of God, ye accepted `it' not `as' the word of men, but, as it is in truth, the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.

¹⁹ They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but `they went out', that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.

²⁷ And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him.
