And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them.
For by me your days shall be multiplied, and the years of your life shall be increased.
But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was on my mother’s breasts. I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother’s belly.
For I say to you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise.
