שבת לב,ב

It says אם יהי-ה חטאכם כשנים כשלג ילבינו If you recognize that you are a sinner and therefore you see it as red, they will turn white as snow. This might be the reason why we put a red ribbon on a baby. The children c’v are punished because of our sins. If we do teshuva by recognizing them, we save them.

שבת לג,ב

When the goyim build is a question whether they do it for themselves. We find by Bilom when he got up early, he was told that Avraham Avinu preceded him by the Akeda. He wanted the benefit for getting up early and the Jews should learn from him with what fervor and passion to do mitzvos the way he does aveiros. Similarly we could learn from the goyim how to do mitzvos.
