Reader comments about this quote:

I guess that is one motivating factor, It is by personal experience; following the teachings of Jesus the Christ develops traits that would be found the most respectable (knowing that everyone sins, commits transgressions and iniquities - in following such teachings, corporeal man would find minimal acts to be ashamed of) Respectability seems to be a measurement from the outside-in while shame seems to be a self assessment from the inside-out. Both terms are juxtaposed with only a narrow combination of compatibility. -- Mike, Norwalk 1

Then faith unfeign toward ones neighbor. The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. As a Leopard by the wayside he observes.
