English term

bear inquiry

English to Spanish Art/Literary Religion religion
Let every reader begin the great business of self-examination. Rest not till you know the length and breadth of your own state in God's sight. Backwardness in this matter is an evil sign. It springs from an uneasy conscience. It shows that a man thinks ill of his own cause. He feels, like a dishonest tradesman, that his accounts will not bear inquiry. He dreads the light.
