Apocrypha · Chapter 3 of 65
Letter to the Corinthians

2From this come jealousy and envy, strife and sedition, persecution and disorder, war and captivity.
3Thus the dishonored rose up against the honored, the discredited against the well-credited, the foolish against the prudent, the young against the elders.
