Even if <skin> is very soft, if <the palm of your hand> is rough,
your skin will feel rough [when it is touched].
<The palm of your hand> also has to be soft,
only then will you be able to feel that <skin is soft>.
Likewise, even if <God, the Holy Spirit and the Holy Son>
treat you with gentleness and love, and help you,
you can feel that only to the extent of your thoughts and deeds.
