"The Christian ought in all things to become superior to the
righteousness existing under the law, and neither swear nor lie. He
ought not to speak evil; to do violence; to fight, to avenge himself; to
return evil for evil; to be angry. The Christian ought to be patient,
whatever he have to suffer, and to convict the wrong-doer in season, not
with the desire of his own vindication, but of his brother's
reformation, according to the commandment of the Lord."
St. Basil the Great.
"We know that all things work together for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
