men, and upon ourselves as sharers in their sinfulness, by showing up their sin in all its hatefulness.

man, rather than
man created to serve the Sabbath... thus turning the entire concept of the Law into one of assistance rather than being chained to obedience; — He insists on impartiality in the way we bless others, even if we call them «
evil» or «good».
