our heart; the habits of our bodies; these are the
things that mark us in God’s sight.

always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,
God brings the best out of you, develops well–
formed maturity in you.

Nor does evil to his neighbor,

77. Psalm 15
Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord;
He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
He who does not put out his money at usury,
Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be moved.
