Philippians 3:16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. is that knowledge, already enjoyed and proved in a spiritual race, should not lie dormant because it is defective. It needed not so much to be rectified as supplemented. Therefore, as far as you have its guidance take it. Walk up to the light you have and you will get more. Walk with me so far as you discern the common path, and at the point of divergence God shall rightly direct you as to the subsequent course. He who employs what he has, prepares himself for further gifts. When the morning bursts suddenly on one wakened out of sleep, it dazzles and pains him; but to him who on his journey has blessed the dawn, and walked by its glimmer, the solar radiance brings with it a gradual and cheering influence. (Professor Eadie.) Parallel Verses KJV: Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. |
