All who are made righteous in the sight of God, are made holy by the grace of God. Our justification is owing to the suffering and merit of Christ our sanctification to the working of the Holy Spirit but both go together. The blood of Christ, and the washing of regeneration, can take away all guilt. They are reminded what a change the gospel and grace of God had made in them.

The Corinthians are warned against many great evils, of which they had formerly been guilty. Lawsuits could not take place among brethren, unless there were faults among them. The peace of a man's own mind, and the calm of his neighbourhood, are worth more than victory. It is a shame that little quarrels should grow to such a head among Christians, that they cannot be determined by the brethren. Bear and forbear, and the men of least skill among you may end your quarrels. They are trifles, and may easily be settled, if you first conquer your own spirits. Refer the matters in dispute, rather than go to law about them. In matters of great damage to ourselves or families, we may use lawful means to right ourselves, but Christians should be of a forgiving temper. This, if duly attended to, would prevent many law-suits, and end many quarrels and disputes.
