الأَعْمَالَ الصَّالِحَةَ هِيَ أَيضًا وَاضِحَة، والَّتي هيَ غَيرُ واضِحَةٍ فَلا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَبْقَى خَفِيَّة
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى طيموتاوس05/ من24حتى/25/ /06من01حتى05/ يا إخوَتِي، مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَكُونُ خَطَايَاهُم  وَاضِحَةً قَبْلَ الحُكمِ فِيهَا، ومِنهُم مَنْ لا تَكُونُ واضِحَةً إِلاَّ بَعْدَهُ. كذلِكَ فَإِنَّ الأَعْمَالَ الصَّالِحَةَ هِيَ أَيضًا وَاضِحَة، والَّتي هيَ غَيرُ واضِحَةٍ فَلا يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَبْقَى خَفِيَّة. على جَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ تَحْتَ نِيرِ العُبُودِيَّةِ أَنْ يَحْسَبُوا أَسْيَادَهُم أَهْلاً لِكُلِّ كَرَامَة، لِئَلاَّ يُجَدَّفَ عَلى ٱسْمِ اللهِ وتَعْلِيمِهِ. أَمَّا الَّذِينَ لَهُم أَسْيَادٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ فلا يَسْتَهِينُوا بِهِم، لأَنَّهُم إِخْوَة، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى فَلْيَخْدُمُوهُم، لأَنَّ المُسْتَفِيدِينَ مِن خَدْمَتِهِم الطَّيِّبَةِ هُم مُؤْمِنُونَ وأَحِبَّاء، ذلِكَ مَا يَجِبُ أَنْ تُعَلِّمَهُ وتَعِظَ بِهِ. فَإِنْ كَانَ أَحدٌ يُعَلِّمُ تَعْلِيمًا مُخَالِفًا، ولا يَتَمَسَّكُ بالكَلامِ الصَّحِيح، كَلامِ ربِّنَا يَسُوعَ المَسِيح، وبِالتَّعْلِيمِ المُوَافِقِ للتَّقْوى، فهُوَ إِنسَانٌ أَعْمَتْهُ الكِبْرِيَاء، لا يَفْهَمُ شَيْئًا، بَلْ مُصَابٌ بَمَرَضِ المُجادلاتِ والمُمَاحَكَات، الَّتي يَنْشَأُ عَنْهَا الحَسَدُ والخِصَامُ والتَّجْدِيفُ وسُوءُ الظَّنّ، والمُشَاجَرَاتُ بينَ أُنَاسٍ فَاسِدِي العَقْل، زَائِفِينَ عَنِ الحَقّ، يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّ التَّقْوى وَسيلَةٌ لِلرِّبْح.

Good works are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden
First Letter to Timothy 05/24-25/6-01-05: “The sins of some people are conspicuous and precede them to judgement, while the sins of others follow them there. So also good works are conspicuous; and even when they are not, they cannot remain hidden. Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honour, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be blasphemed. Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful to them on the ground that they are members of the church; rather they must serve them all the more, since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties. Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness, is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words. From these come envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, and wrangling among those who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
