³² I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.

²⁹ And God gave Solomon a great store of wisdom and good sense, and a mind of wide range, as wide as the sand by the seaside.

¹¹ Our mouth is open to you, O Corinthians, our heart is wide.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there the heart is free.

²⁴ Do you not see that in a running competition all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.

²⁵ And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.

²⁶ So then I am running, not uncertainly; so I am fighting, not as one who gives blows in the air:

³⁶ If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

³² And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

⁵ Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

¹⁶ As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

³¹ But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

⁴ Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

⁴⁵ So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.

³⁶ You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.

¹⁵ He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.
