Genesis 20:7 — work and better. We have a privilege not only above the blind Ethnics, but above the Church of the Old Testament. The sea about the altar was brazen; 1 Kings 7:23 and what eyes could pierce through it? Now our sea about the throne is glassy, Revelation 4:6 "like unto crystal," clearly conveying the light and sight of God to our eyes. God hath "destroyed the face of the covering cast over all people". Isaiah 25:7 "And we all with open face beholding, as in a glass, the glory

Genesis 20:7 — privilegio no solo por encima de la etnia ciega, sino por encima de la Iglesia del Antiguo Testamento. El mar alrededor del altar era de bronce; 1Re 7:23 ¿y qué ojos podrían traspasarlo? Ahora nuestro mar alrededor del trono es vidrioso, Apocalipsis 4: 6 "como cristal", transmitiendo claramente la luz y la vista de Dios a nuestros ojos. Dios ha "destruido el rostro de la cubierta echada sobre todo pueblo". Isa 25: 7 "Y nosotros todos mirando a cara descubierta, como en un espejo, la gloria del Señor",

Job 2:11 — vinieron cada uno de su lugar; Elifaz temanita, Bildad suhita y Zofar naamatita; porque habían concertado una cita para venir a llorar con él y consolarlo. Ver. 11. Y cuando los tres amigos de Job] Sus amigos familiares, que comieron de su pan, como Salmo 41:9 , que fueron como su propia alma, Deuteronomio 13:6 , sus amigos íntimos, y, por tanto, joyas preciosas, tales como podía tanto guardar consejo como dar consejo. De tales hay pocos que se puedan encontrar. Amigos, no hay amigo, dijo Sócrates (φιλοι,

Song of Solomon 5:4 — Mi amado metió su mano por el agujero [de la puerta], y mis entrañas se conmovieron por él. Ver. 4. Mi amado metió la mano por el agujero. ] O, dejó caer su mano del agujero, a donde estaba levantando el pestillo, o tratando de pasar por la barra; se tomó tan mal que le respondieran tan mal, que se marchó disgustado y no volvería a ser más problemático.

Jeremiah 1:1 — infelicidad de este buen hombre ser médico en un estado agonizante ... “ Tunc etenim docta plus valet arte malum. " Durante mucho tiempo había trabajado entre este pueblo perverso, pero con un propósito muy pequeño, como él mismo se queja, Jer 27: 13-14 después de Isaías, Isa 49: 4 a quien sucedió en su oficio de profeta, algunos años entre ellos, f pero con poco éxito. Porque como en un moribundo sus ojos se oscurecen y todos sus sentidos decaen, hasta que al final se pierden por completo, así ocurre

Haggai 2:14 — every work of their hands; and that which they offer there [is] unclean. So is this people, and so is this nation before me — Though pure in their own eyes, Proverbs 30:12 , and to the world-ward unrebukeable, as Paul the Pharisees, Philippians 2:14-15 , and those self-justiciaries, Luke 16:14-15 "Ye are those that justify yourselves" (and have the world’s good word for you), "but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight

Zechariah 13:1 — Jerusalem — i.e. To all sorts and sexes of penitents, be they noble or ignoble, strong Christians or weak, Zechariah 12:8 none shall be secluded from this fountain, thus opened or exposed to all, not sealed and shut up, as that Song of Solomon 4:12 "God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him," Acts 10:34-35 . For sin and for uncleanness — i.e. For all sorts of sins, though they be such as in their

Zechariah 13:1 — habitantes de Jerusalén ] ie Para toda clase y sexo de penitentes, sean nobles o innobles, cristianos fuertes o débiles, Zac 12: 8 nadie será apartado de esta fuente, así abierta o expuesta a todo, no sellado y encerrado, como Cantares de los Cantares 4:12 "Dios no hace acepción de personas, sino que en toda nación el que le teme y obra justicia, es agradado con él", Hechos 10:34,35 . Por el pecado y por la inmundicia ] es decir, por toda clase de pecados, aunque sean tales que en su desierto nos

Zechariah 13:5 — alimente y nos vista. Y el cardenal Cayetano, no sin motivo, clama que aquellos entre ellos que deberían haber sido la sal de la tierra habían perdido su sabor; y servían para poco más que cuidar los ritos y las rentas de la Iglesia (Com. en Mateo 5: 1-48). Ahora bien, para aquellos que no sirven al Señor Jesucristo, sino a sus propios vientres, que, como los piojos del cuerpo, viven del sudor de otros hombres, o, como ratas y ratones, no hacen más que devorar víveres y correr chirriando de arriba a

Malachi 2:2 — in rebellion against the Lord. If you esteem my command a light matter, and, instead of pondering it in your hearts with Mary, cast it behind your backs, Psalms 51:17 , or suffer it to run through you as water runs through a riven vessel, Hebrews 2:4 . If, thirdly, you will not give glory unto my name, by confessing your sins, Joshua 8:19 (so submitting to my justice, and imploring my mercy, which will make much to my glory), and redressing your ways, Psalms 50:23 , by breaking off your sins, and

Malachi 3:16 — — Then, when all flesh had corrupted their ways, Genesis 6:12 , and the whole world turned atheists. Then, when there was no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land, none to speak of, but that it was even darkened with profaneness, Hosea 4:1 ; as Egypt was with those very grievous locusts that covered the eye thereof, Exodus 10:14-15 . Then, when the faithful city was become a harlot, Isaiah 1:21-22 ; her silver turned into dross, her wine mixed with water; her people not dilute only,

Malachi 3:18 — death are upon her), to see and acknowledge a sensible difference between the righteous (ever more "excellent than his neighbour," let him dwell where he will, Proverbs 12:26 , because "sealed up to the day of redemption" Ephesians 4:30 ), and the wicked, who is but a vile person, an ουτος (let him be great as Antiochus Epiphanes the great King of Syria); between him that serveth God, accounting it the highest honour to be his vassal, as Constantine,

Malachi 3:18 — cuando los dolores de la muerte están sobre ella), para ver y reconocer una diferencia sensible entre los justos (cada vez más "Excelente que su prójimo", habite donde quiera, Proverbios 12:26, porque "sellado para el día de la redención" Efesios 4:30), y el impío, que no es más que una persona vil, un ουτος (sea grande como Antíoco Epífanes el gran rey de Siria); entre el que sirve a Dios, teniendo en cuenta el más alto honor ser su vasallo, como Constantino, Teodosio y Valentiniano (los emperadores)

Malachi 3:3 — victory," Matthew 12:20 , that is, till he have perfected the work of grace begun in his people (for he is "author and finisher of their faith," Hebrews 12:2 ), and by patience made them "perfect and entire, wanting nothing," James 1:4 . Christ, who is the God of all grace, and hath called them to his eternal glory, will, after they have suffered awhile in his furnace, or refining pot, Proverbs 17:3 of afflictions, "make them perfect, establish, strengthen, settle them,"

Malachi 4:1 — view already. "Behold, the day," that notable day, so long looked for by the Jews, who boasted of a Redeemer, and promised themselves all possible comforts then: Tunc enim Deus nos dignabitur clarissima visione, saith Jachiades on Daniel 12:4 , tunc intelligemus res ipsas prout sunt: Then shall we have a most clear vision of things as they are, … Lo, that day cometh; not such a day as you imagined, but like that in Amos, "A day of darkness, and not light: even very dark, and

Matthew 3:16 — praying heart, God will find a pitying heart and a supplying hand. Now he is worthily miserable that will not make himself happy by asking. The ark and the mercy seat were never separated. God never said to Israel, "Seek ye me in vain," Isaiah 45:19 . The hand of faith never knocked at heaven’s gates, but they were opened, and the Spirit descended, though not so visibly as here at the baptism of our Saviour, nor a voice heard so audibly from heaven as then, yet as truly and effectually

Matthew 5:10 — are persecuted — To be persecuted (as simply considered) is no blessed thing; for then it were to be desired and prayed for. But let a man love a quiet life, and labour to see good days, said those two great champions, David and Peter, Psalms 34:12 ; 1 Peter 3:10 , who themselves had endured a world of persecution, and paid for their learning. The like counsel gives St Paul and the author to the Hebrews, 1 Timothy 2:2 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:11 ; Hebrews 12:11 ; for they felt by experience how

Matthew 5:44 — Pero yo les digo: Amen a sus enemigos, bendigan a los que los maldicen, hagan bien a los que los odian y oren por los que los desprecian y los persiguen; Ver. 44. Pero yo les digo, amen a sus enemigos ] Una tarea difícil, debo decirlo, pero, difícil o no, debe hacerse, aunque nunca sea tan contrario a nuestra naturaleza inmunda y práctica anterior. "El espíritu que hay en nosotros codicia la envidia, pero la

Matthew 5:7 — itself, and yearning over the miseries of others) extend and exercise spiritual and corporal mercy. The former, which teacheth a man to warn the unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men, …, 1 Thessalonians 5:14 . The schoolmen thus, Consule, castiga, solare, remitte, fer, ora, usually excel and exceed the latter, which stirs a man up to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick, …, Matthew 25:35-36 . " Visito, poto, cibo, redimo, tego,

Matthew 6:18 — προσκλισιν ), 1 Timothy 5:21 , without tilting the balance on one side. Inequality of the legs causeth halting, and an unequal pulse argues bodily distemper; so doth an unsuitable carriage an unsound soul, Psalms 119:104 ; Psalms 119:128 Matthew 23:23 ; Matthew 3:1-17 . Ubiquity: he is the same at home as abroad; in the closet as in the congregation; and minds secret as well as open holiness. Joseph was one and the same in his master’s house, in the prison, and
