To those whose God is honor; only disgrace is a sin.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If it be a sin to covet honor, I am the most offending soul.
But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.
It is the grace of God, that shows and condemns the sin that humbles us.
The coming of honor or disgrace must be a reflection of one's inner power.
To sin offers repentance and forgiveness; not to sin offers only punishment.
To say of shame - what is it? Of virtue - we can miss it; Of sin-we can kiss it, And it's no longer sin.
We are punished by our sins, not for them.
Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.
It is better to die than to preserve this life by incurring disgrace. The loss of life causes but a moment's grief, but disgrace brings grief every day of one's life.
Every painful consequence of sin is a part of the punishment meted out for sin.
