Apocrypha · Chapter 21 of 65
Letter to the Corinthians
Take heed, beloved, lest his many benefits become judgment against us, if we do not live worthily of him and do in harmony what is good and pleasing before him.
2For it says somewhere: The Spirit of the Lord is a lamp that searches the depths of the heart.
3Let us see how near he is and that none of our thoughts or deliberations are hidden from him.
4It is right, therefore, that we do not abandon our post from his will.
