"The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek."
[1596 Shakespeare Merchant of Venice i. iii. 93]
We do not know for certain he has an evil soul! MTY was never mentioned by Maytee - some how he has been dragged into this - because of other tattoos and being in our Military. I see fellows all the time with tattoos - some with a cross - I don't stand and think, he has an evil soul. I don't know this fellow, once again I believe, he had the tattoo done for the GOOD! (emphasis supplied)
Shakespeare did not say that MTY has an evil soul.
And neither did I.
The quotation warns one to beware of assuming that the act of quoting or displaying scripture is proof of good character or good intentions.
You will find the same warning in the Bible itself.
