"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, 
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and 
hating one another.' Therefore we ought to be thus to all, to be gently 
disposed. For he who was formerly in such a state, and has been delivered 
from it, ought not to reproach others, but to pray, to be thankful to Him 
Who has granted both to him and them deliverance from such evils. Let no 
one boast; for all have sinned. If they, doing well thyself, thou art 
inclined to revile others, consider thy own former life, and the 
uncertainty of the future, and restrain thy anger. For if thou hast lived 
virtuously from thy earliest youth, yet nevertheless thou mayest have many 
sins; and if thou hast not, as thou thinkest, consider that this is not the 
effect of thy virtue, but of the grave of God. For if He had not called thy 
forefathers, thou wouldest have been disobedient." 

St. John Chrysostom.
