2:24
There is there neither prayer nor sign of repentance for sin ; yea , the brute in his kind serves God far better than he . He is the very stain , reproach , and shame of religion , to all that know him ; it can hardly have a good word in all that end of the town where he dwells , through him . -LSB- Rom . 2:24,25 -RSB- Thus say the common people that know him , A saint abroad , and a devil at home . His poor family finds it so ; he is such a churl , such a railer at and so unreasonable with his servants , that they neither know how to do for or speak to him . Men that have any dealings with him say it is better to deal with a Turk than with him ; for fairer dealing they shall have at their hands . This Talkative -LRB- if it be possible -RRB- will go beyond them , defraud , beguile , and overreach them .
