change desire equally
But on the other hand, while disclaiming any change in my opinions, I desire equally to disclaim the representations of those opinions which have been put forward in some quarters.
commission received
You will bear a commission from God, for you have received a call from God.
So then put away, relentlessly away, all thought of the results. You cannot control them.
rebuke whom
So then, when I speak to you, I speak to myself. If I seem to warn or to rebuke you, it is not so much you, as myself, to whom the warning or the rebuke is addressed.
therefore
This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.
