A man must himself be cleansed before cleansing others; he must himself become wise, so that he can make others wise; he must become light before he can give light; he must draw near to God before he can bring others near; he must be holy before he can make others holy; he must be possessed of hands before he can lead others by the hand, and possess wisdom before he can speak wisely. – St. Gregory Nazianzus #copticorthodox #repentance #christ
