Additional quotes by John Calvin

We should forever keep in mind that we must not brood on the wickedness of man, but realize that he is God’s image bearer.

The wicked do not fear God from any unwillingness to offend him, provided they could do so with impunity. ... But believers, as has been said, dread the offense even more than the punishment.

Jules Bonnet, ed., Letters of John Calvin, 4 vols., (Lenox Hill), vol.II, 1973, <small> </small> , pp. 376–377;.
