And this also is a great evil, that in all respects as he came, so shall he go: and what profit has he that has labored for the wind?
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
That you submit yourselves to such, and to everyone that works with us, and labors.
