¹⁰ For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.

¹¹ On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,

¹² The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.

² for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one `is' a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

²⁴ till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

³¹ God! Perfect `is' His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He `is' to all those trusting in Him.

⁷ Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those walking uprightly.

²⁷ religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.

¹⁷ every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

¹ `Aleph.' O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They are walking in the law of Jehovah,

³⁰ God! perfect `is' His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield `is' He to all those trusting in Him.

¹⁰ And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same mind, and in the same judgment,

¹⁴ and above all these things, `have' love, which is a bond of the perfection,

² and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what `is' the will of God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect.

¹¹ these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

¹⁵ see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

²¹ Jesus said to him, `If thou dost will to be perfect, go away, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.'

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

² He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And speaking truth in his heart.

³ He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his neighbour.

⁴ Despised in his eyes `is' a rejected one, And those fearing Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and changeth not;
