A Fearless Spirit in Rebuking Evil Strikes Us with Admiration
Galatians 2:11-12
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.…


When Frederick the First, the half-mad king of Prussia, was so enraged against his son that he announced his intention of condemning him to death, even though the Emperor remonstrated, in his fury exclaiming — "Then I will hold my own court on him at Konigsberg, which is outside of the Empire, where no one can control me!" But a fearless courtier spoke out — "Only God, your majesty, will be over you there to call you to task for shedding your son's blood!"

(Dr. Hardman.)
