then we have begun to relax our own grip on the sanctity of the commandments of God, and we are on the way to condoning the same sin in ourselves.1 Heart-felt obedience to God’s law will lead us to promote obedience to that same law on the part of others. True saints have indignation for those who break God’s law (Ps. 119:53), and they are not ashamed to promote that law publicly (v. 13). If they would keep silent in the face of disobedience, then they would become culpable for the sins they witness.
