Regarding
the rest of mankind, you should pray for them unceasingly, for we can always
hope that repentance may enable them to find their way to God. Give them a chance to learn from you, or at
all events, from the way you behave.
Meet their animosity with mildness, their high words with humility, and
their abuse with your prayers. But stand
firm against their errors; if they grow violent, be gentle instead of wanting
to pay them back in their own coin. Let
us show by our forbearance that we are brothers, and try to imitate the
Lord.
