“Remember what man is. He is the image of God, a child of God, a Christian, an inheritor of the Kingdom, a member of Christ. We must therefore esteem every man, although he may bear in his soul the wounds of sins. The wounds—are wounds ; they are made by the Devil and sin, but still the image is the image of God.”
(St John of Kronstadt,  ‘My Life in Christ’)
