Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

The Bible is a revelation of the mind and will of God to men. Therein we may learn, what God is.

If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.

Good servants frequently make good masters.

But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.

If you see most people neglect the Bible, and many that can read never look into it, let it not harden you and make you think lightly of it, and that it is a book of no worth.
