Romans 5:7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Nobody would feel impelled to die for a man who is only severely and strictly just, he may command our admiration, but not our affection. Aristides the Just is, indeed, at last banished; men cannot bear a man whose whole character is bare justice, for they are themselves usually so unjust. But "a good man," he commands our love, a man of that character who is gratuitously kind, and gracious, and benevolent, peradventure - and it is a bare peradventure - somebody might be found to die for such as he. It is not, however, very probable.
