Not due to being murderers, or adulterers but where do we pride ourselves?

When we hear Jesus saying, 'The world hateth me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil; shall we say, that he was sent from heaven to tell the world, that murder, adultery, theft, &c., were evil actions? or rather, would not any man speaking publicly in its favour, run the risk of being stoned or torn to pieces even by the most vicious of the mob? The truth is, Jesus witnessed against the world as evil, in that respect wherein they approved and valued themselves most: and accordingly the zealous Jews understood him. Would they not judge, then, thst they had good ground to count him an enemy to all that they called virtuous or pious? - Robert Sandeman, Letters on Theron and Aspasio
