1 Thessalonians 2:3-6 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:… I. THE PRECIOUSNESS OF THE GOSPEL. It is precious because — 1. It reveals God. (1) Who all men are more or less blindly groping after. (2) As a Father infinitely wise and good. 2. It offers salvation — (1) From the penalty of sin. (2) From the power of sin. 3. It breathes hope into every man. II. IT HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO US IN ORDER THAT BY ITS MEANS WE MIGHT SAVE OUR FELLOW MEN. How great is our responsibility to let it speak in our words and deeds! (W. Birch.) Parallel Verses KJV: For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:WEB: For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception. |
