Chapter 4

¹ I have many thoughts in God, but I measure myself, so that I may not perish in boasting. For now I need to be all the more fearful and not pay attention to those who puff me up. For those who speak to me are scourging me.

² I do love to suffer, but I don’t know if I’m worthy. For the jealousy is not apparent to many, but it wars against me all the more. So I need gentleness, by which the ruler of this age is destroyed.
