With other people, there is no use in doing comparisons,
The mistakes of others do not exempt anyone.
The penalty for a mistake will be paid by everyone.
The others’ sins are observed by everyone,
Each one thinks what he does is not so wrong.
They desire to be right, even being in sin,
They think there is no punishment for “small sins.”
This is a mistake that is being committed,
Especially by that one who is a new converted.
He thinks it is good to observe people’s lives,
And thinks it is the best way to know if he is right.
There is only one right model for comparison,
It is Jesus Christ who came for salvation.
The right life, the Lord Jesus showed,
In none of the human temptations, He sinned.
The purity coming from the Lord, He showed.
To please God, each one must seek sanctification,
The holy will of God will guide that person.
They will walk in paths of truth and righteousness.
Every day they are moving away from wickedness.
It must stop all comparisons among people,
Only Jesus is the perfect example.
To please the Lord, each one must do many things,
And to leave the old path of sin.
