让我们不要那么自以为是！
如果你是那么自以为是、自认为比别人更神圣的话，那么，当他人犯了错误、或得罪了你的时候，你就不会宽恕他们，因为你在认为：你比他们更为神圣；所以你就是虚伪的，就是所有的罪人中最大的罪人了！如果你自以为是、认为自己比他们更好、并卑视他们的话，那么就好像法利赛人似的在说：“上帝啊！感谢您，我不像这个罪人一样！”（路18:9-14）；这种比他人更神圣和自以为是的态度本身，就是更坏的罪！事实上，“自以为是”就是所有罪中最大的罪之一！
我们对他人应有一种仁慈、爱心、富同情心和宽恕的态度，要设法对他们有怜悯心，就像我们想得到怜悯一样；我们要用自己想让上主来对待我们的过失的方式，去对待他人的过失！我们一定要宽恕那些冒犯了我们的人，并请求被我们冒犯过的人宽恕我们；我们应该拉着他们的手，再次一起相处在那个充满了爱心、情谊和为上主欢欣工作的圈子里。
上主，愿我们所有人对彼此更谦卑、更忍耐、更有爱心、更仁慈、更能宽恕他人、以及更恒久忍耐。愿我们真诚地祷告：“赦免我们的罪，因为我们也赦免凡亏欠我们的人。”（路11:4）

Let’s not be so self-righteous.
If you’re going to be so self-righteous and holier-than-thou and hypocritical as to think you’re better than somebody because they have sinned against you, but oh, no, you’ve never sinned, therefore you’re not going to forgive them, then you are the biggest sinner of all! If you have self-righteous feelings of being 
better than others and look down on them, like the Pharisee who said, “God, I thank You that I am not like other men” (Luke 18:9–14), then that attitude in itself is the worse sin. In fact, self-righteousness is one of the greatest sins of all.
We should take a kind, loving, sympathetic, and forgiving attitude toward others and have mercy as we want mercy. We should treat others in their errors as we want God to treat us in ours. We must forgive those who’ve wronged us, seek forgiveness of those we’ve wronged, and then take them back into our circle of love and fellowship.
May we all be kinder, more humble, more patient, more loving, more forgiving, and more long-suffering with each other—and may we sincerely pray, “Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us” (Luke 11:4 NIV).
