Chapter

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we
should not be condemned with the world.

Brethren:
Consider this quote:
“ Though
justice be thy plea, consider this,
That,
in the course of justice, none of us
Should
see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And
that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The
deeds of mercy”
If
we would judge ourselves - As to our knowledge, and the design with
which we approach the Lord's table. We should not be thus judged -
That is, punished by God. When we are thus judged, it is with this
merciful design, that we may not be finally condemned with the world.
John
