A louder witness

(Philpot, "Contemplations & Reflections")

"Be an example to other believers in your
 speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and
 purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

A godly life is a louder witness against the
inconsistent conduct of loose professors,
than scolding reproofs.

There should be . . .
  a tenderness of spirit,
  a holy prudence,
  a godly awe of the word of truth, and
  a reverent walking before God;
all of which speak plainly against the light,
easy, loose, slip-shod profession of the day.

"Be an example to other believers in your
 speech, behavior, love, faithfulness, and
 purity." 1 Timothy 4:12
