[Pheonix28]

Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:1–7 ESV

This is a good reminder. It is easy to look at someone and judge them, or treat them differently. It is easy to forget that we were once as they. We've all had our own history and past, some of us are still struggling with different sins, some have been delivered.

Remember, don't treat others badly because they're sinners, for we have all sinned.

 

[Abba San]

Good point - and verse - thanks, Phoenix.
