21 These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them.
22 And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.

24 But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:
25 And they follow him that are of his side.
