Galatians 2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. Some years ago I was amused with the sentiment of a witty fellow who said, "A lie will travel from Maine to Georgia while truth is putting on his boots. In that case," he added, "truth should not stop to put on his boots." The difficulty lies in allowing the lie to run so far ahead; let them start abreast, and truth will gain the field. It may be distanced at the first heat, but on the long run it is sure to secure the prize. (Cangray.) Parallel Verses KJV: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. |
