«Do all things without murmurings and disputings: / That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; / Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.»

«Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?»
«If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? / If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.»
