Two Things Concerning The Sins of Others

It was F.B. Meyer, I believe, who once said that when we see a brother or sister in sin, there are two things we do not know: 

First, we do not know how hard he or she tried not to sin. 

And second, we do not know the power of the forces that assailed him or her. We also do not know what we would have done in the same circumstances.
