Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Christ is in None of These Ways

Some men rejoice in others’ failings; they are malicious and fail more in that sinful joy than their brethren in that which they rejoice at.

Some are angry at weaknesses and infirmities; they are proud and conceited, not considering that they themselves also are in the flesh.

Some delight to dwell always upon a frailty…

Some study revenge more than pardon.

Some pretend to forgive, concealing a rough heart behind a smooth face.

Christ is in none of these ways.
