I was confirmed in this opinion, when I read in the Gospel of St. Paul says to the Ephesians, "Ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone; in whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord." Ephes. 2:20, 21. I was still more strengthened, when I found in the Revelation, that St.
These are Bible illustrations of the help God gives to his people in answer to prayer. And the Bible rule for prayer, as given by our Saviour, is, "that men ought always to pray," Luke xviii: 1. St. Paul's way of stating it is "Praying always, with all prayer," Ephes. vi: 18. In another place he says "Pray without ceasing," I. Thess. v: 17. And even the heathen teach the same rule about prayer.
Ordination, 1 Tim. iv. 22. Extreme Unction, Mark vi. 13. James v. 14. and Marriage; Ephes. v. 32." Apol. discussio, p. 698. XXII. In the examination of the other articles, which divide the Roman Catholics from the Protestants, Grotius continued to lean towards the Romish Church.
Super-disinterested benevolence! And if it be doing to others as we would have them do to us, to make them work for our own good alone, Paul should be called to order for his hard sayings against human nature, especially for that libellous matter in Ephes. v. 29, "No man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it."
"Watch, therefore, for ye know not neither the day nor the hour." Soon all will be reality. Soon we shall enter in to be with the Bridegroom; shut in with Him. God grant that none of us may be shut out. Ephes. i:13, 14; Rev. xii We find in these words a truth revealed, which is quite often overlooked by readers of this great Epistle.
Scripture doth not always observe exactness of order, to put that first which is of most excellency: sometimes the pastor is put before the teacher, as Ephes. iv. 11, sometimes the teacher before the pastor, as Rom. xii. 7, 8.
We read, "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. EPHES. vi: 11 and 12. These are the secret enemies whom we must know, and we must stand on a ground, on which they cannot come, and from which we will conquer them.
That we distinguish betwixt the object and subject of this power. The object for which, for whose good and benefit all this power is given, is primarily the general visible Church, Ephes. iv. 7, 10-12; 1 Cor. xii. 28; Rom. xii. 5,6, &c.

In her is concentrated the prophecy of Judaism and Heathenism.
The church had prepared for our use on that Sunday the 16th chapter of John. And I selected the text: "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again a little while and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." John, xvi: 16. If you have comprehended this book to this page, you know, that I am Jesus Christ's first-born son in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. Ephes. 1: 10.
