Fight like a good soldier and if you sometimes fall through weakness, rise again with greater strength than before, trusting in Christ's most abundant grace. But beware of vain complacency and pride. For many are led into error through these faults and sometimes fall into almost perpetual blindness. Let the fall of these, who proudly presume on self, be a warning to you and a constant incentive to humility.
