Judgement
Judgement
To judge sins is the
business of one who is sinless, but who is sinless
except God? Who ever thinks about the multitude of his own sins in
his heart never wants to make the sins of others a topic of conversation.
To judge a man who has gone astray is a sign of pride, and God resists
the proud. On the other hand, one who every hour prepares himself to
give answer for his own sins will not quickly lift up his head to examine
the mistakes of others.
St. Gennadius of Constantinople
