HOW MOSES AND ST PAUL FELT ABOUT OTHERS
'If Thou will forgive their sins, forgive; but if not, blot me as well out of the book of life which Thou hast written’ (Exod. 32:32. LXX);
while St Paul said, ‘For I could wish that I myself were severed from Christ for the sake of my brethren (Rom. 9:3).
He prayed, that is to say, that he should perish in order that others might be saved - and these others were the Israelites who were seeking to kill him.
