Merciful Correction, Patient Forbearance

“Let a man mercifully  correct what he can; let him patiently bear what he cannot correct, and groan and sorrow over it with love.”

– Cyprian (c. 200- 258) in  Scott M. Manetsch, Calvin’s Company of Pastors: Pastoral Care and the Emerging Reformed Church, 1536-1609 (Oxford: 2013), 189.
