1-2 Is there anyone, even the wisest,who could ever be of use to God?
3 Does your doing right benefit God,or does your being good help him at all?
4 It is not because you stand in awe of Godthat he reprimands you and brings you to trial.
5 No, it's because you have sinned so much;it's because of all the evil you do.
6 To make your brother repay you the money he owed,you took away his clothes and left him nothing to wear.
