Gospel of Thomas: sayings on Asceticism and the world

Every saying in the collection that turns on asceticism and the world, in the order they appear in the text.

Saying 6 Saying 6: On Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving The disciples ask how to fast, pray, give alms and eat; the answer is to stop lying and to stop doing what you hate, because everything is uncovered in the end.
Saying 7 Saying 7: The Lion and the Human Blessed is the lion eaten by a human, for the lion becomes human; cursed is the human eaten by a lion, for the lion becomes human.
Saying 14 Saying 14: Fasting Brings Sin Fasting brings sin, prayer brings condemnation, almsgiving harms the spirit; go into any land, eat what is put before you, heal the sick. What goes into the mouth will not defile you — what comes out will.
Saying 21 Saying 21: Children in a Field Not Theirs Mary asks what the disciples are like; they are like children living in a field that is not theirs, who give it back when the owners come. Be on guard against the world like a householder expecting thieves, and when the crop is ripe bring the sickle.
