Dominance of the Christian brothers over their brothers.

For neccesity is laid upon me,.... woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel, if by my meat I make my other offended then I would not eat meat for ever. To the gentiles I became a gentile.....

12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

If the only you would have to know the depth of God's love, and that, his ways are not out of only our mind, but incomplete, without end.

So many, even under some guise of pride would think that gain is godliness and that we have all of God, compared to others, who only have a fraction, of what we do not posses.
The gift of God.....lest any man should boast, and what have you, that you did, not, received from Christ, like every other person whom He gave.



Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, not as some who corrupt the word.

  We have been redeemed, not with corruptible things like silver and gold that would vanish and perish with its using.
If only in this life I have hope then I am of all men most miserable.
