enemies, “Father, forgive them; they know not what they do.”86 If any one, the more he is
injured, displays the more patience, blessed is he. If any one is defrauded, if any one is des-
pised, for the name of the Lord, he truly is the servant of Christ. Take heed that no plant of
the devil be found among you, for such a plant is bitter and salt. “Watch ye, and be ye
sober,”87 in Christ Jesus.
