169. The verb is implied, but not expressed: Fidelis (est) Deus.

170. The ablative corde has a descriptive function here; we might say in English "in mind" or "at heart."

171. The noun panis could be nominative singular or genitive singular; from context in this sentence, it needs to be nominative singular, serving as the subject of the sentence.

172. Notice that the verb is supplied in the first part of the parallel construction, but it is only implied in the second part: dura (est) sicut inferus aemulatio. Notice also that the first part of the structure uses ut to express the comparison; the second part uses the word sicut instead.

173. You can find these same words in Matthew 26.

174. This statement is an implied comparison: Omnis caro (est sicut) faenum.

175. The Latin word creatura means a "creature" or any "creation" (the Greek word used here is κτίσμα).

176. This is the very first verse of the apocryphal book of Sirach.

177. This verse is from the apocryphal book of Sirach. The word quasi introduces a comparison omnis iniquitas is like, quasi, a romphea bis acuta.

178. The word autem is a postpositive particle, which means it cannot come first in the sentence, but comes in second position, here inserted in the noun phrase omnis...homo. The overall structure is parallel: Deus // omnis homo and verax // mendax.
