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”4060

17. | ), 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.”4061
| 4061 Comp. Matt. vi. 12–15, vii. 2; Luke vi.
36–38. | By this
precept and by these rules let us stablish 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?”4062
