³ Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.

⁴ He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

³¹ And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
