And whereof knowest thou, woman, if thou shalt make the man safe; or whereof knowest thou, man, if thou shalt make the woman safe?
The fruit of a rightful [or rightwise] man is the tree of life; and he that taketh souls, is a wise man.
So I say to you, joy shall be before the angels of God on one sinful man doing penance.
if in any manner I stir my flesh for to follow, and that I make some of them safe.
I am made sick to sick men, to win sick men; to all men I am made all things, to make all men safe.
Take attention to thyself and to doctrine; be busy in them. For thou doing these things, shalt make both thyself safe, and them that hear thee.
