² and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which `is' in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.

¹⁹ for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

²¹ thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;

²² reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

²⁵ And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene;

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

⁴² Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

⁴⁵ `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

³⁰ `He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me, doth scatter.

³¹ Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit shall not be forgiven to men.
