Summary

This quote suggests that people's happiness is not typically destroyed by major disasters or significant mistakes, but rather by the accumulation of small negative actions or choices over time. These little things may seem insignificant individually, but their constant presence can have a slowly undermining effect on one's overall well-being and contentment. It serves as a reminder to pay attention to the smaller aspects of life and make conscious efforts to avoid negative patterns that can gradually erode happiness.

In these words the Apostle sets forth a most apt antithesis:

In these words the Apostle sets forth a most apt antithesis: first, he who is justified by faith has peace with God, but tribulation with the world, because his life is spiritual. Secondly, the unrighteous have peace with the world, but anguish and tribulation with God, because their life is carnal. Thirdly, as God the Holy Spirit is eternal, so also the peace of the righteous and the tribulation of the unrighteous will be everlasting. Lastly, as the flesh is temporal, so also the tribulation of the righteous and the peace of the unrighteous will be temporary.
