summary: The passage includes translator notes on private cabals, altered greetings,
assembly etiquette, and almsgiving before private consultation. The main passage
condemns people allied with those under divine anger, says their oaths are used
as a cloak, foretells their punishment and resurrection before God, identifies
them as the party of the devil, and contrasts them with believers whose hearts
God has marked with faith and who will enter gardens with flowing rivers.
