"When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen different doors and to those who are still in the hall. If they are wrong, then they need your prayers all the more; and if they are your enemies, you are under orders to pray for them. That is one of the rules common to the whole house.

A live body is not one that never gets hurt, but one that can to some extent repair itself. In the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble -- because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out.
