They also explore the relationship between thinking celestial and faith. They also grapple with the balance of faith and works in our lives and how those notions should interact with each other rather than be considered as opposing principles. They discuss the “superfluity of naughtiness” and how both faith and works tie into the pure religion of helping the afflicted. Then they go through how what we say and how we treat others is important and affects us and them, and is related to being double minded or not. Finally, the highlight the important principle of friendship with the world being enmity with God.
