menu_book Verse in Context

3 For to be acquainted with you is perfect righteousness, and to know your dominion is the root of immortality.

4 For we weren’t led astray by any evil plan of men’s, nor yet by painters’ fruitless labor, a form stained with varied colors,

5 the sight of which leads fools into lust. Their desire is for the breathless form of a dead image.

6 Lovers of evil things, and worthy of such hopes, are those who make, desire, and worship them.

7 For a potter, kneading soft earth, laboriously molds each article for our service. He fashions out of the same clay both the vessels that minister to clean uses, and those of a contrary sort, all in like manner. What shall be the use of each article of either sort, the potter is the judge.
