Apocrypha · Chapter 39 of 65
Letter to the Corinthians

2What can a mortal do? Or what strength is there in one who is made of dust?
3For it is written: There was no form before my eyes; I heard only a sound and a voice.
4What then? Shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? Or shall a man be blameless in his works, if he does not trust in his servants and finds fault in his angels?
