car la parole de Dieu et la prière rendent chaque chose agréable à Dieu. L'auteur dénonce ici plusieurs déviations que certains présentent comme une voie de salut. Leurs partisans refusent le mariage, prônent des interdits alimentaires, et condamnent le monde créé. Or Dieu, dans son amour, a créé le monde pour que l'humanité y vive harmonieusement. Par la prière et l'action de grâce, l'être humain reconnaît le don de Dieu qui abolit la distinction entre le pur et l'impur.
