HE.

³³ ¶ Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.

³⁴ Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

³⁵ ¶ Make me to go in the path of thy commandments, for therein do I delight.

³⁶ Incline my heart unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

³⁷ ¶ Turn away my eyes from beholding vanity, and cause me to live in thy way.

³⁸ ¶ Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who is devoted to thy fear.

³⁹ ¶ Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments are good.

⁴⁰ ¶ Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.

6 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

² If a person commits a sin, a trespass against the LORD, and denies unto his neighbour that which was delivered unto him to keep or left in his hand, or in a thing stolen, or has slandered his neighbour;

³ or has found that which was lost and then denies it and swears falsely, in any of all these in which a man can sin,

⁴ then it shall be that because he has sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he stole, or for the damage of the slander, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,

⁵ or all that about which he has sworn falsely, he shall even restore it in the principal and shall add the fifth part more to it, for the one to whom it belongs, and he shall pay in the day of his guiltiness.

⁶ And he shall bring for the expiation of his guilt unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flock, in thy estimation, for his guilt, unto the priest;

⁷ and the priest shall reconcile him before the LORD, and he shall have forgiveness for any of all of the things in which he is guilty.

² Behold, I, Paul, say unto you that if ye become circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

³ For I testify again to every man that becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

⁴ Ye are empty of the Christ, whosoever of you that justify yourselves by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

⁵ For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

⁶ For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision, but faith which works by charity.
