13. Who Of these contrasts be sure to exhibit the right one.

Works Special good doings.

Wisdom The wisdom of the just. If there be among you a professed Christian let him come out of an equivocal state, half holy and half wicked, and let him, both by general life and special act, show the Christian tempers.
