Proverbs 14:32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death. I. THE CHARACTER OF THE RIGHTEOUS. 1. He is one who has been convinced of his unrighteousness. 2. One who is made the partaker of righteous principles. 3. One who is righteous and holy in his life. II. THE HOPE OF THE RIGHTEOUS. This hope has for its object future spiritual and eternal blessings. It is called a "good hope through grace," because we are indebted for it to the grace and favour of God; and because it is wrought in us by the gracious influences of the Divine Spirit. Eternal life includes the immortality of the soul — the everlasting, conscious existence of the rational mind; the resurrection of the body; and the enjoyment of eternal happiness. (J. Entwistle.) Parallel Verses KJV: The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.WEB: The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge. |
