Page 184 - But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Page 280 - For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation ; ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Page 286 - Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam if in thine own ey«?
