contamination?

Are you worried about coming into contact with sinners? Are you afraid of being contaminated by them? Yet I was accused of such contact by my critics and I responded that it is the sick who need a physician. My critics were in a worse position than those who received my ministry although they were unable to understand that. You have a term for people like this, ‘holier than thou’, and this is no compliment. If you are about your Father’s business you can do it without being defiled. In this sense to the pure all things are pure. You can minister life without receiving death.
