2 Corinthians 8:21 Douay-Rheims

For we forecast what may be good not only before God, but also before men.

Cornelius a Lapide

1567–1637 Catholic

Providing for honest things . I endeavour to act honourably, not only before God but also before men, lest suspicious persons should have some occasion for suspecting me of some wrongdoing. Wherefore, to show that I administer this collection honestly, I make Titus and Luke my witnesses, I make them the treasurers of it, and refrain from handling it myself. Hence learn this practical rule: We owe a good conscience to God, a good report to our neighbour: he who neglects good report acts cruelly towards his neighbour’s salvation (Anselm)
