1 " God’s righteousness has nothing to do with the law. We can never obtain God’s righteousness by going to the law. As far as God’s righteousness is concerned, the law is over. The law was the old dispensation. Now without law, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been manifested through faith of Jesus Christ. "

2 " The two persons of this couple were of one source, of one nature, and had the same one life. Without doubt, they also had one living. "
3 " This couple is the secret of the universe. "
4 " Humanly speaking, we always think of God in a religious way as the Almighty, feeling compelled to worship Him. But do you married brothers expect this from your wives? "
5 " God longs to have a marriage life, to have divinity live together with humanity. "
6 " When you give up God, this forces God to give you up. If you let go of God, God will be compelled to let go of you. This is most deplorable. It is terrible to be given up by God. "
7 " When a person has been given up by God, he will never do good things. He will not improve but only descend lower and lower. "
8 " The greatest blessing in human life is to be trained to worship our God. "
9 " Although you may argue that it is not wrong to steal from others, the nature within you protests whenever you are tempted to steal. Even bank robbers will admit that, as they rob banks, their nature tells them, “Don’t do this.” However, they will not listen. It is the same with every evil-doer. Whenever they do something wrong, their nature disagrees. We need to observe the requirements of the nature within us. "
10 " The law of God has a function in our nature. In other words, our nature corresponds to God’s law because our nature was made by God. God’s law was given according to God’s nature, for a lawgiver always enacts a law in accordance with his own being. God created man according to what He is. Therefore, the law given by God and the man created by God correspond to one another. "
11 " Our conscience protests [39] continually. When you argue with your parents, the conscience says, “Don’t do this.” If you offend your parents, your conscience will trouble you for three nights. Every husband seeking to divorce his wife will also be convicted by his conscience. All men have a conscience. This is a great matter. In the normal Christian life we must all take care of our conscience in a suitable way. "
12 " We have seen the five items in the way of restriction: knowing God by His creation, holding the truth of God in righteousness, living according to our nature, listening to our conscience, and caring for our proper reasonings. If we observe all these things, we will be restricted from every kind of evil. "
