Excerpt from Spiritual Reading for Every Day: An Introduction to the Interior and Perfect Life, for the Use Alike of Persons in the World and in ReligionPut ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also. But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection :and let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body, and be ye thankful. - Col. iii. 12.But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more: and that you use your endeavour to be quiet, and that you do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without, and that you want nothing of any man's. - 1 Thess. iv. 11Extinguish not the Spirit. Despise not prophecies. But prove all things: hold fast that which is good. From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
