For I myself too am altogether sinful, and I have not yet escaped temptation, but I am still in the midst of the devices of the devil, yet I am striving to follow after righteousness, that I may have the strength at least to draw near to it, in fear of the judgment to come.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, following the[*] God of truth, I am reading you an exhortation to pay attention to that which is written, that you may both save yourselves and him who is the reader[*] among you. For as a reward I beg of you that you repent with all your heart, and give to yourselves salvation and life. For if we do this we shall set a mark for all the

younger, who wish to work in the cause of piety and the goodness of God.
