2 Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit… I. REPETITION OF THE SAME THINGS IS WARRANTABLE. 1. For at the first delivery of a thing we may not fully apprehend it; the eye of our mind is but opened by degrees. 2. Our faith by often repetition may be confirmed. 3. It is a help to cause the truth in the soil of our memories to take the deeper impression. 4. We are slow to practise what we conceive, believe, and remember: therefore the reduplication of Divine things is profitable. II. THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST IS ABOVE ALL THINGS TO BE DESIRED. (J. Barlow, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. |
