• Still, being thus governed, and the will bridled, one bears patiently with others; and the circumstances that must be passed through are, in all respects, borne according to the will of God, be they what they may. We add patience to temperance. (“2 Peter 1” by J.N. Darby)

• When the conscience has nothing that is not already judged in the light, the new man is in action with regard to God, whether in realizing the joy of His presence or in glorifying Him in a life characterized by godliness.
