Quotes
“Judge not, lest ye be judged.”
Brother Grace (quoted twice)
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Bible, Matthew 7:1-3, King James Version
“At night he shall ride a pale horse
but at noon he shall wear black
We shall call him Death.”
Brother Grace
And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword, and with hunger,
and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Bible, Revelation 6:8 King James Version
