Religion
Acts 11:4: He did not scorn to make reply
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
He did not scorn to make reply,
His conduct blamed to justify
Against their erring zeal;
He did not the first place assume,
Or sit with all the pride of Rome,
A judge infallible.
From his submissiveness we know
What each to each the members owe:
And let our elders call
The men they hastily reprove,
We own ourselves in humble love
Accountable to all.
