kingdoms of the
earth.

if he
makes a
gift out of his
inheritance to
one of his
servants, it shall be his
to the
year of
liberty. Then it shall
revert to the
prince;
surely it is his
inheritance—it shall belong to his
sons.

being no hearer who
forgets but a
doer who
acts,

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,
So speak and so act as those who are to
be judged under the
law of
liberty.
