Seite 216 - All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
Seite 322 - Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
