Honour All Men
Honouring all Men means reaching that of God in every person, which brings us to seek the honour of God.
George Fox preaches about the importance of honoring all men by recognizing the divine spark within each person, as this ultimately leads to seeking the honor of God. Those who are connected to God's Spirit are able to honor all men because they see the image of God in everyone. Conversely, those who are not in tune with God's Spirit dishonor the Son and mislabel individuals, elevating falsehood over truth.
Text
. . . HONOURING all Men, is reaching that of God in every Man, for that brings to seek the honour of God; the other fades, and reacheth not to that of God in Man: For the Saints, which were to honour all Men, they were in that of God, which did reach to that of God in all Men. . . .
And they that are not in the Spirit of God, do dishonour the Son, and mis-call Men, honouring and setting up that which is out of the Truth. . . .
G.F.
