" No other word of excuse was he able to find, without using that with which the wicked, man and impious brother had rejected the defender of probity and piety!…”
Tertullian, 3th c. — Against Marcion Book IV

11And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
— Luke 12:13 —
14And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
