I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.

For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.

Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
