Marcus EremitaWhoever has a spiritual gift and compassionate toward one who does not have it guards his gift through his compassion. But whoever is proud of his gift loses it through self-opinion.
Marcus EremitaDo not attempt to benefit by rebukes one who boasts of his virtues, for he loves to display himself can not be a lover of truth.
Marcus EremitaIf someone puts his trust in God in a matter, let him not argue with his brother about it.
