Pagina 331 - Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives, while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Pagina 179 - Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name 'in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
