The Essential Works Of Thomas Watson by Thomas Watson
A godly man will forgive those who have wronged him Revenge is sweet to nature. A gracious spirit passes by affronts, forgets injuries and counts it a greater victory to conquer an enemy by patience than by power. It is truly heroic to overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Though I would not trust an enemy'yet I would endeavor to love him. I would exclude him from my creed'but not from my prayer (Matt. 5:44).
