²⁹ And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

⁴¹ Everything which goes flat on its body on the earth is disgusting, and is not to be used for food.

⁴² Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

⁵ Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

² For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

³ Without natural love, bitter haters, saying evil of others, violent and uncontrolled, hating all good,

⁴ False to their friends, acting without thought, lifted up in mind, loving pleasure more than God;
