Didaskalia De nobili dicto Davidis

the judgment of a man before the face of the Most High. To subvert a man in his judgment, the Lord does not look upon it. Who is he, therefore, who speaks, and it is, and the Lord does not command it? Or do not good and evil proceed out of the mouth of the Most High? Why should a living man complain, a man for the sake of his sins he calls the punishments of sins thus? Let us search our ways, and investigate, and return even unto Jehovah, etc. (Lam. 3:37-40).

3. The power of Christ is perfected in our weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).

4. For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us (Rom. 8:18).

5. A sentence handed down in the verses of Paul:
Often indeed the Lord repels all adverse things,
So that a man cannot be afflicted by any wound.
But the hand of the Almighty is more wonderful then,
When evils brought upon him do not overcome the afflicted man.
