# Plumer on Love to the Saints

“All good men love God’s saints. Jesus loves them. He gave himself for them. Good men wish well to all, but especially to those who wear the image of God. Jesus Christ came not into the world to condemn the world, but he laid down his life for his sheep. His kindness and grace, as well as the brotherly love of his people, are pre-eminently to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent.” — [**William S. Plumer**](/authors/william-swan-plumer), *Studies in the Book of Psalms* (1866), p. 211 \[on Ps. 16:3\]
