1 The Master, brethren, is in need of nothing: He asks nothing of anyone, save that confession be made to Him. 2. For David the chosen says: "I will confess to the Lord, and it shall please Him more than a young calf that groweth horns and hoofs: let the poor see it and be glad." 3. And again he says: "Sacrifice to GOD a sacrifice of praise, and pay to the Highest thy vows; and call upon Me in the day of thy affliction, and I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify Me." 4. For the sacrifice of GOD is a broken spirit.
