1Blessed is the man who in his patience brings his gifts with faith before the face of the Lord, for he will find forgiveness of sins.
2But if he withdraws his words before the time, there is no repentance for him; and if the time passes and he does not of his own will do what is promised, there is no repentance after death.
3For every work that man does before the time, is all deceit before men, and sin before God.
