16:7.7 Man's [[choosing]] between [[good]] and [[evil]] is [[influenced]], not only by the keenness of his [[moral]] [[nature]], but also by such influences as ignorance, immaturity, and delusion. A sense of [[proportion]] is also concerned in the [[exercise]] of [[virtue]] because evil may be perpetrated when the lesser is chosen in the place of the greater as a result of [[distortion]] or [[deception]]. The [[art]] of [[relative]] estimation or comparative [[measurement]] enters into the [[practice]] of the [[virtue]]s of the [[moral]] realm.

16:7.8 Man's [[moral]] nature would be impotent without the [[art]] of [[measurement]] [http://books.google.com/books?id=QDjto8j0PE4C&dq=crosby,+measure&printsec=frontcover&source=bn&hl=en&ei=l0iVS9eiGcuztgfO5OTUCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBUQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=&f=false], the discrimination embodied in his ability to scrutinize [[meanings]]. Likewise would moral [[choosing]] be futile without that cosmic [[insight]] which yields the [[consciousness]] of [[spiritual]] [[values]]. From the standpoint of [[intelligence]], man ascends to the level of a moral being because he is endowed with [[personality]].

16:7.9 [[Morality]] can never be advanced by [[law]] or by [[force]]. It is a [[personal]] and [[freewill]] matter and must be disseminated by the contagion of the contact of morally fragrant persons with those who are less morally [[responsive]], but who are also in some measure desirous of [[doing the Father's will]].
