Therefore, let them either stop boasting of being what they are not, which is an affront to God, or show themselves to be worthy students of Christ their schoolmaster.

We have given the leading role to the doctrine that contains our religion because our salvation begins there, but this teaching must flow into our heart and permeate our conduct of life, and even transform us into itself so that it will be productive for us.

Yes, many people put on a show of some gentleness as long as they find everything pleasant and congenial, but how few of them will maintain that same tone of moderation when they are annoyed and irritated?

Righteousness includes all the duties of equity so that each person is given their due. Next comes godliness, which unites us with God in true holiness after we have been separated from the impurities of the world.

Ya Boy Kongming ep 6 features a rap battle with about 192 bars ((2x16x3)x2 [overtime]). I've translated 200+ eps of anime, and I spent far longer on this than any other. It was a great challenge and creative exercise. Enjoy! #AmTranslating
Anyway, I did my best to match the rhyming and delivery while keeping the spirit of the meaning intact. As an example, here are the bars Kabetaijin opens the rap battle with.
ラップの素人がＭCバト[ル]
全力で潰す 俺のスタイ[ル]
ラップの素人がＭCバト[ル]
全力で潰す 俺のスタイ[ル]
There were plenty of more complex rhyme schemes too, such as this one:
誰よりも信念が有る[なら]
舞台から降りてはいけま[せん]
言葉遊びがお望み[なら]ば
胸を貸します１００パー[セン]
誰よりも信念が有る[なら]
舞台から降りてはいけま[せん]
言葉遊びがお望み[なら]ば
胸を貸します１００パー[セン]
