1. Don’t be preoccupied with your money,and don’t say, "I’m self-sufficient."
2. Don’t follow your inclinationor your strength,in order to walk in the desiresof your heart.
3. And don’t say,"Who’ll have power over me?"When the Lord punishes,he will punish.
4. Don’t say, "Sure, I sinned,but what happened to me?"The Lord is patient indeed.
5. Don’t be too confidentof being forgiven,adding sin upon sin.
6. Don’t say, "His compassion is great;he will forgive the whole heapof my sins."Mercy and wrath are with him,and his anger will rest on sinners.
