“I am the foremost of sinners” [1 Tim. 1:15].
How can I make sense of this statement as I strive to make it my own? … Surely, there are worse sinners than me. …
To the best of my knowledge, it is actually true. I can’t fully know the misdeeds, circumstances, external strictures, inner struggles, or repentance of other people. It is not mine to analyze other people’s shortcomings or their motivations. Doing so will not benefit me. … I have access to and control over only myself.
—Peter Bouteneff, How to Be a Sinner
