God created man incorruptible, and made him in the image of his own nature, but through the devil’s envy, death came into the world.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
To trust a stranger without investigation invites troubles so endless that even descendants must endure them. To rust a man who has not been tested and to suspect a man who has proven trustworthy lead alike to endless ills.
Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
Everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if is received with thanksgiving: for then it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.
Let love of the brethren continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity.
