eousncs5 are as filthy rags" 'if We say we
have nc sin we deceive ourselves and the
truth is not in u.s." Chris says: "There Il
none good save one which is God. The
Bible further teaches that every sin de-
serves punishment OF Gcd in the present
lie and in the failure. Punishment is prov

ton Of them that haze me- tho seed OF cy-
il doers shall never be roEowned;" ''the

David and Solomon were punished ia this life
for faults, and even Moses was kept from
the Promised land On account ut error iG
