Behavior Quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus; it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.” quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer — Download Open image
