AE 815b - "the faith of God"

AE 815b [10]
. . . he who is in faith from the Lord
asks for nothing but what contributes to the Lord's kingdom
and to himself for salvation;
other things he does not wish,
saying in his heart,
Why should I ask for what does not contribute to this use?
Therefore if he were to ask for any thing
except for what is granted him from the Lord to ask
he would have no faith of God,
that is, no faith from the Lord.

Ian has left a new comment on your post "AE 815b - "the faith of God"":

The 'to ask' on the second-to-last line should be moved to the end of the third-to-last line.

Thanks, Ian! MUCH better. I have corrected the post, so that is what shows up now.

For anyone curious as to how it appeared before:

other things he does not wish,
