Analogy again, why do u go to a doctor when u r badly sick, if you urself know that even that doctor could fall into sickness? Remember that even b4 Jesus called the sinners and the poor to be his apotles. We are all sinners here, instead of trusting only ourselves, Jesus called us to be acommunity of faithful.let us not be selfish, together we can defeat sin because Jesus is among us,
