Passage 48

In English

When an old friend visits our house, we address him in an informal way, “Hey, come.” But when a new friend comes to our house, we offer him a seat with all courtesy and respect, requesting him, “Please be seated.” You address an old friend in intimate terms, saying, “Hey, what are you doing? What brings you here?” Similarly, when you have firm faith in the Lord and feel oneness with Him, you will not address Him in a formal way.
