| 24 | Akken yella di tira iqedsen : Amdan am leḥcic, + ccan-is meṛṛa am ujeǧǧig n lexla,+ leḥcic ițɣaṛ, ajeǧǧig iɣelli,+ | For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: |
| 25 | ma d awal n Sidi Ṛebbi+ ițdumu i dayem+ . Awal-agi, d awal n lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i wen-d-ițțubecṛen. | But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. |
| 11 | Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. |
