"And I do not say unto you, 'God's treasures are with me'; nor [do I say], 'I know the reality which is beyond the reach of human perception'; nor do I say, 'Behold, I am an angel';1 nor do I say of those whom your eyes hold in contempt,2 'Never will God grant them any good'- for God is fully aware of what is in their hearts.3 [Were I to speak thus,] verily, I would indeed be among the evildoers."
