Chapter XIII.—An exhortation to
humility.
Let us therefore, brethren, be of humble mind,
laying aside all haughtiness, and pride, and foolishness, and angry
feelings; and let us act according to that which is written (for the Holy
Spirit saith, “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither
let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in
his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently
seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness”55
), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which
He spake, teaching us meekness and long-suffering. For thus He spoke:
“Be ye merciful, that ye may obtain mercy; forgive, that it may be
forgiven to you; as ye do, so shall it be done unto you; as ye judge, so
shall ye be judged; as ye are kind, so shall kindness be shown to you;
with what measure ye mete, with the same it shall be measured to
you.”56
By
this precept and by these rules let us establish ourselves, that we walk
with all humility in obedience to His holy words. For the holy word
saith, “On whom shall I look, but on him that is meek and
peaceable, and that trembleth at My words?”57
