⁶ Most men make no secret of their kind acts: but where is a man of good faith to be seen?

⁸ I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

² When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

¹ <For the chief music-maker on the Sheminith. A Psalm. Of David.> Send help, Lord, for mercy has come to an end; there is no more faith among the children of men.

¹¹ The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

¹⁴ As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.

¹¹ I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, See, here is a true son of Israel in whom there is nothing false.

³³ And he said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death.

²⁸ And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.

² The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

¹ Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.

²⁸ For which my soul is still searching, but I have it not; one man among a thousand have I seen; but a woman among all these I have not seen.

² Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
