For it is one thing to say, 'He got mad', and another thing to say, 'He IS bad-tempered', and to reveal, as we said, the whole disposition of his life. It is serious to judge a man for each one of his sins. As Christ himself says, 'Hypocrite, first take the board from your own eye, then you can see to take the splinter out of your brother's eye.'— St. Abba Dorotheos of Gaza [On Refusal to Judge Our Neighbor by St. Dorotheos of Gaza] #condemnation #temptationfromtheright #zealotry #lackofdiscernment #mathewites
