I. THE RIGHTEOUS MAN IS FOUND IN THE WAY OF DUTY.

1. The duty of his calling.

2. The duty arising from the relations of human life.

II. THE RIGHTEOUS MAN IS SEPARATE FROM SINNERS. In the world, but living above it. This separateness, which is necessarily the mark of the righteous character, involves: —

1. Sorrow for the spiritual state of men alienated from God.

2. A principle which regulates choice of companionship. A good man will avoid the contagion of evil example, and be attracted to that which is most Godlike.

(T. H. Leale.)
