Nothing more clearly show how little God esteems his gift to men of wealth, money, position and other wordly goods, than the way he distributes these, and the sort of men who are most amply provided with them.
|
He who esteems trifles for themselves is a trifler; he who esteems them for the conclusions to be drawn from them, or the advantage to which they can be put, is a philosopher.
|
So much is a man worth as he esteems himself.
|
He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.
|
He who despises himself nevertheless esteems himself as a self-despiser.

Romans 14:5:
Some consider one day more sacred than another; others consider every day alike. Everyone should be fully convinced in their own mind.
(NIV)
One man esteems one day as better than another, while another man esteems all days alike [sacred]. Let everyone be fully convinced (satisfied) in his own mind.
(AMP)
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
(KJV)
