You are angry with your neighbour, and say of him that he has done this or that, and so on. What business of yours is it?
He sins against God, not against you. God is his judge, not you, and to God he shall give an account, not to you.
Know how sinful you are yourself, how difficult it is for you to master your own sins, and to get the better of them, how afflicted you are by them, how they have ensnared you, how you wish indulgence from others.
Your brother is a man like unto you; therefore you must be indulgent to him, as to a sinful man similar in all things to you, as infirm as you. Love him, then, as yourself:
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
- Saint John of Kronstadt
