Confession of Former Wrongdoing
Galatians 1:13
For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God…


I man may make his past sins known out of pride, but also out of humility. Whoever does not boast himself of the same, but humbles himself therefore before God, and willingly bears the shame of them before men, not relying upon himself, makes a good confession, but one not needful to be uttered before every man, as sometimes it would bring more scandal than benefit.

(Quesnel.)
