ЗЛОРАДСТВО

Machine translation from the original · Show original
Do you rejoice at the fall of your enemies or the change from favorable circumstances to less than favorable ones? This is sinful and unwise. It is sinful because it is contrary to love for one’s neighbor; unwise, because this could happen to you, and then they will rejoice at your misfortune. While you rejoice at the change in the circumstances of another, God sees both you and that other person; he sees your gloating, he also sees the spiritual qualities of another, perhaps much better than yours; why he punishes him, correcting his mistakes (10).
