Last month, Romney quoted favorite scripture: "For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat..."

The magazine asked each candidate whether he has a favorite passage of Scripture, prayer or other "words of wisdom."

Romney quoted the Gospel of Matthew: "For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me. ...”

But then in a private 50k/plate dinner, he said:

“All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them,” Romney said. “Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.”

Added Romney: “I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.”
