Luke 2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple… On the other hand, quite as certainly all who through long years have been early and constant in their attendance on the means of grace, who have planned carefully and toiled hard that they might be so, who have brought to the exercises of religion an attentive mind and a living heart, have, so far as my observation has extended, been distinguished for the cheerful trustfulness of Christian hope, for the consistent devotedness of Christian life, for diligence and success in Christian work; while they have been to all their brotherhood an example, an inspiration, and a joy. (J. Aldis.) Parallel Verses KJV: And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. |
