“Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician for whom the Hippocratic oath which doctors take is named, once proposed a consultation of all the physicians in the world to find a cure for covetousness. Since man is inherently selfish, he needs transformation of his moral nature, which can be effected by the new birth of regeneration. With the life of Christ indwelling him, he possesses new power which can enable him to be giving instead of greedy, sacrificial instead of selfish and generous instead of grasping.”
