Christian Age 1 Corinthians 10:12 Why let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. One of the saddest incidents connected with the disastrous fire at Chicago is that so many trusted not only their goods but their lives to buildings that were regarded as fireproof, and that they perished together. Dr. Goodall records similar incidents connected with the great fire at Constantinople in 1831, and makes a suggestive reflection, "We, like many others, fared the worse for living in houses which were considered fire-proof. In the great burning day may no such false confidence prove our ruin." (Christian Age.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.WEB: Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn't fall. |
