Note 2 — Chapter XIII · INTEGRITY OF THE GOSPELS.

“Be merciful that ye may obtain mercy; forgive that it may be forgiven to you; as ye do, so shall it be done unto you; as ye judge so shall ye be judged; as ye are kind so shall kindness be shown to you; with what measure ye mete with the same it shall be measured to you” (c. 13). Matt. vi. 12-15; Matt. vii. 2; Luke vi. 36-38. “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me” (c. 15). Matt. xv. 8; Mark vii. 6. “Woe to that man! It were better for him that he had never been born, than that he should cast a stumbling block before one of my elect, yea it were better for him that a millstone should be hung about his neck, and he should be sunk in the depths of the sea, than that he should cast a stumbling-block before any of my little ones” (c. 46). Matt. xviii. 6; Matt. xxvi. 24; Mark ix, 42; Luke xvii. 2.
