Whether riche men oppressen not you bi power, and thei drawen you to domes? 7 Whether thei blasfemen not the good name, that is clepid to help on you? 8 Netheles if ye performen the kingis lawe, bi scripturis, Thou schalt loue thi neiybour as thi silf, ye don wel. 9 But if ye taken persones, ye worchen synne, and ben repreued of the lawe, as trespasseris.
