Every one ought to put all others before himself. The Christian ought not to be unruly. 40 EveryChristian, with the approval of his superiors, ought so to do everything with reason and assurance, even down to actual eating and drinking, as done to the glory of God. Every one ought to remain in his appointed post, not to go beyond his own bounds and intrude into what is not commanded him, unless the responsible authorities judge any one to be in need of aid. No one ought to be found going from one workshop to another.
Nothing ought to be done in rivalry or strife with any one.
He ought not to be indifferent or silent before sinners. He who is proved wrong or rebuked ought to take it willingly, recognizing his own gain in being set right. Every one ought, as far as he is able, to conciliate one who has ground of complaint against him. No one ought to cherish a grudge against the sinner who repents, but heartily to forgive him. 47 He who says that he has repented of a sin ought not only to be pricked with compunction for his sin, but also to bring forth fruits worthy of repentance.
