" Truth shall make you free"...

Not only proclaim or announce a belief in the divine, and to promise to dedicate self to same, but the entity must consistently live such.

And the test, the proof of same, is longsuffering.

This does not mean suffering of self and not grumbling about it.

Rather, though you be persecuted, unkindly spoken of, taken advantage of by others, you do not attempt to fight back or to do spiteful things;

that you be patient--first with self, then with others; again that you not only be passive in your relationships with others but active, being kindly, affectionate one to the other; remembering, as

He has said, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least, ye do it unto me."

As oft as you contribute, then, to the welfare of those less fortunate, visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction, visit those imprisoned--rightly or wrongly--you do it to your Maker.

For, truth shall indeed make you free, even though you be bound in the chains of those things that have brought errors, or the result of errors, in your own experience.
