He emphasizes the importance of seeking eternal rewards rather than temporal ones, and warns against seeking honor from men rather than from God. Gregg uses the term "hypocrites" to refer to those who pretend to be religious without truly honoring God. He also discusses the practice of fasting, cautioning against slavish observance and encouraging individual discernment in when and how to fast.
