Nature of Sympathy
E. Burke. Hebrews 13:3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. It is by sympathy we enter into the concerns of ethers, that we are moved as they are moved, and are never suffered to be indifferent spectators of almost anything which men can do or suffer. For sympathy may be considered as a sort of substitution, by which we are put into the place of another man, and affected in many respects as he is affected. (E. Burke.) Parallel Verses KJV: Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. WEB: Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
