careth not.
Jn. 12:6• 6Mas dijo esto, no por el cuidado que él tenía de los pobres: sino porque era ladrón, y tenía la bolsa, y traía lo que se echaba en ella. (Jn. 12:6)
;
Hch. 18:17• 17Entonces todos los Griegos tomando á Sóstenes, prepósito de la sinagoga, le herían delante del tribunal: y á Galión nada se le daba de ello. (Hch. 18:17)
;
Fil. 2:20• 20Porque á ninguno tengo tan unánime, y que con sincera afición esté solícito por vosotros. (Fil. 2:20)
• Christ was the perfection of self-sacrificing love; and it is Satan who, as the wolf, seizes and scatters what is so precious to Him, through the selfishness of such as abandon the sheep in their greatest peril, the mercenary having no care for the sheep. The character of man and Satan is as plain as that of Christ. (“John 10” by W. Kelly)
