Morning:
Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which
they came, they might have had opportunity to return. But now
they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore
God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared
for them a city. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the
people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures of Egypt. The just shall live by faith: but if any
man shall draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them
that believe to the saving of the soul. No man, having put his
hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of
God.
May it never be that I should glory, except in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and
I to the world. Come out from among them, and be ye separate,
saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will
receive you.
He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ:

Evening:
They talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the
affliction.
Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are
spiritual, restore such one in the spirit of meekness;
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
He who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall
save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward
all men.
Let us not . . . judge one another any more: but judge this
rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall
in his brother’s way. We . . . that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Charity . . . rejoiceth not in iniquity. Let him that
thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
