The Lay Preacher Genesis 18:25 That be far from you to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked… I. Notice the grand fundamental truth that the ways of God are ways of righteousness. II. That the impartiality of God's dispensations is evident from the fact that the entire field of judgment is subject to His control, "all the earth." III. That God's dealings with men are not partial in this life; i.e., they do not involve injustice here to be counterbalanced and rectified by the judgment which is to be hereafter. IV. That while justice must be tempered with mercy, every appeal for mercy should be grounded on an underlying principle of justice. (The Lay Preacher.) Parallel Verses KJV: That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? |
