"What does it matter if I suffer injustice [from others in the community]? Would I not have deserved even more severe punishment from God if God had not treated me with mercy? Is not justice done to me a thousand times over even in injustice? … Those who live by justification by grace are prepared to accept even insults and slights without protest, taking them as from God’s chastising and gracious hand."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith In Community (thanks to Vitamin Z)
