"Forgive As The LORD Forgave You."

Let us ever wear the garment of . . .
(John Fawcett, "An Essay on Anger" 1824)

"Therefore, as GOD'S chosen people, 

holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves 

with compassion, kindness, humility, 

gentleness and patience. 

Bear with each other and forgive 

whatever grievances you may have 

against one another. Forgive as 

the LORD forgave you. And over 

all these virtues put on love, which 

binds them all together in perfect unity." 

Colossians 3:12-14

Let us be very assiduous to cultivate . . .
  the Christian virtues of kindness and forgiveness,
  a ready and hearty submission to the Word of GOD, 
  and a cheerful resignation to HIS all-wise providence.

Let us be modest, humble, and lowly in our 

behavior towards men. Let us ever wear 

the garment of humility, and the ornament 

of a meek and quiet spirit. This will be more 

to the honor of our divine SAVIOR and more 

to the credit of our holy religion, than 

the most exact orthodoxy.

If we are wholly destitute of a true 

Christian temperament, the mind 

that was in CHRIST JESUS--

then we are in the gall 

of bitterness and in the bond 

of iniquity. It matters not to what 

sect of Christians we professedly adhere. 

If pride, anger, wrath, and malice reign 

in our hearts and govern our lives--

then all our religion is hypocrisy!
