Do you see something strange or, as it seems to you, incorrect in the words and deeds of your neighbor? Don’t hurry to accuse and condemn him if you do not hold the responsibility of a father, pastor, ruler, or instructor. Do not be righteous like the Pharisee, who found no other righteous people in the world other than himself: I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. Instead, be righteous like Joseph, who was good and meek.
