21 If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.
(Read Proverbs 29:21)
Good usage to a servant does not mean indulgence, which would ruin even a child. The body is a servant to the soul; those that humour it, and are over-tender of it, will find it forget its place.
