p103 [W Kelly] [To the same.] MY DEAR BROTHER, - There is a fund of grace in dear -, but he has been in a bad school. Really - 's humility (though he be a devoted man of God) consists in counting that they have infinitely more grace than any one else, and shew it in condescension. I know nowhere suc... Read More
1. Rule of Faith. Power in the church is neither more nor less than that of the Holy Ghost. There may be added at the beginning the apostles, as constituted of the Lord Jesus and having directions from Him. But now this is simply the working of the Holy Ghost in the church.

I take this chapter as fully setting us - the twelve disciples, then those that believe on Him through their word - first, in our place of relationship to the Father; secondly, to the world; and both in a most distinctive way.

Paul begins by encouraging Timothy in his own service: "Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." He was to endure hardness, and not to entangle himself in the affairs of this life. "The husbandman labouring first, shall be partaker of the fruits;" that is, he must labour before he gets the f... Read More
1, 2. The importance of the case engages to a more particular survey what manner of spirit we are of.--3. Accordingly the Christian temper is described, by some general views of it, as a new and divine temper.--4. As resembling that of Christ.--5. And as engaging us to be spiritually minded, and to ...
