5:14	So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.
5:15	And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”
5:16	But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.
5:17	And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.

2:8	Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the offspring of David, has risen again from the dead, according to my Gospel.
2:9	I labor in this Gospel, even while chained like an evildoer. But the Word of God is not bound.
2:10	I endure all things for this reason: for the sake of the elect, so that they, too, may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.
2:11	It is a faithful saying: that if we have died with him, we will also live with him.
2:12	If we suffer, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.
2:13	If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful: he is not able to deny himself.

17:11	And it happened that, while he was traveling to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
17:12	And as he was entering a certain town, ten leprous men met him, and they stood at a distance.
17:13	And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Jesus, Teacher, take pity on us.”
17:14	And when he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that, as they were going, they were cleansed.
17:15	And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, magnifying God with a loud voice.
17:16	And he fell face down before his feet, giving thanks. And this one was a Samaritan.
17:17	And in response, Jesus said: “Were not ten made clean? And so where are the nine?
17:18	Was no one found who would return and give glory to God, except this foreigner?”
17:19	And he said to him: “Rise up, go forth. For your faith has saved you.”
