This comma splice involves a statement and a question.

we do not know where you are going, how can we know the way?

should be

we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?

or, at the least,

we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?

Less egregious, and I mention it only because of the other, is 14:1:

You believe in God, believe also in me.

should be

You believe in God. Believe also in me.

or
You believe in God; believe also in me.

We have lots of semicolons. This looks good to me.

5 we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?

1 You believe in God; believe also in me.
