Morning:
Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. Truly, if they had been mindful of that [country]
from which they came, they might have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better
[country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath
prepared for them a city.--Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
treasures of Egypt.--The just shall live by faith: but if [any man] shall draw back, my soul shall
have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back to perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.--No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is
fit for the kingdom of God. May it never be that I should glory, except in the cross of our Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world.--Come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive
you. He who hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
De 17:16 Heb 11:15,16,25,26 10:38,39 Lu 9:62 Ga 6:14 2Co 6:17 Php 1:6
Evening:
They talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. I was but a little displeased, and they
helped forward the affliction. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual,
restore such one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. He who
converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a
multitude of sins.-- Encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all [men].
Let us not . . . judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a
stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.--We . . . that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Charity . . . rejoiceth not in iniquity. Let
him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
