1 But you, our God, are kind and true and patient. You rule the universe with mercy.
2 Even if we sin, we know your power and are still yours. But because we know that we belong to you, we will not sin.
3 Knowing you is perfect righteousness. Recognizing your power is where immortality begins.
4 We have not been misled by any evil product of human skill, by any useless object painted by some artist, or by any idol smeared with different colours.
