An elder said: “Accustom your heart, little by little, to say of each one of the brothers: ‘Truly, this one is ahead of me in godliness,’ and again: ‘That one is more zelous than I am.’ In that way then you will come to think of yourself as inferior to everybody–and the spirit of God will dwell in you. But if you belittle a man, the grace of God will depart from you and deliver you over to the defilement of the flesh. Your heart will be hardened and no sorrow for sin will be found in you.”
