Do not follow your inclination and strength in pursuing the desires of your heart.
3
Do not say, "Who can have power over me?" for the Lord will surely punish you.
4
Do not say, "I sinned, yet what has happened to me?" for the Lord is slow to anger.
5
Do not be so confident of forgiveness that you add sin to sin.
6
Do not say, "His mercy is great, he will forgive the multitude of my sins," for both mercy and wrath are with him, and his anger will rest on sinners.
