For the Lord does not speak in vain, nor does He offer His Word to the lazy and smug, but to those who are in need, who toil, who are afflicted and are undergoing a very difficult conflict against the flesh and all external appearances,

“You must die if you would live under this King. You must bear the cross and the hatred of the whole world. You must not flee from ignominy, poverty, hunger, and thirst, in other words, all the evil that floods the earth.”

“Therefore we should not run away or shrink so much from evils, since we know that the end of all men is envy, slander, evil, and death. And so if you want to endure despite these things, you will have to learn how through contiuous experience. To a fool these troubles always come when he is least prepared; but to a godly man they have been done away with by long experience. The godly find this life vile and death sweet; they go on living only for the sake of God, who wants them to live.”

“You will suffer slander on account of your wisdom; you will experience ingratitude; people will forget your acts of kindness; they will disparage your best advice and will return evil for good.”

“Ought one ever to play at make-believe with a full-grown man for any consideration whatever—even though he be a parson, and a possible father-in-law? There's a case of conscience for you!”

“You will be subject when you know that you never suffer undeserved punishment but deserve much greater punishment. The proud are smug in their opinion that they deserve only blessing. Like Job, they are not afraid, because they rely on their works (Job 9:28). Therefore they do not stand in the time of trial; but, as Matt, 7:24 ff. said about the house of the foolish man that was built on sand, they collapse in a great fall and become worse. Accordingly, this fear is a great part of the cross in the whole of life and in all our works; in fact, it is almost the whole of the cross.”
