But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. Be not

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”
