Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons on Several Occasions, Vol. 3 "They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition." 1 Timothy vi. 9. 1. How innumerable are the ill consequences which have followed from men´s not knowing, or not considering, this great truth! And how few are there even in the Christian world, that either know or duly consider it! Yea, how small is the number of those, even among real Christians, who understand and lay it to heart! Most of these too pass it very lightly over, scarce remembering there is such a text in the Bible. And many put such a construction upon it, as makes it of no manner of effect. "They that will be rich," say "they, that is, will be rich at all events; who will be rich, right or wrong; that are resolved to carry their point, to compass this end, whatever means they use to attain it; they fall into temptation, and into all the evils enumerated by the Apostle." But truly if this were all the meaning of the text, it might as well have been out of the Bible. 2. This is so far from being the whole meaning of the text, that it is no part of its meaning. The Apostle does not here speak of gaining riches unjustly, but of quite another thing; his words are to be taken in their plain obvious sense, without any restriction or Qualification whatsoever. St. Paul does not say, "They that will be rich by evil means, by theft, by robbery, oppression, or extortion; they that will be rich by fraud or dishonest art; but simply, they that will be rich:" these, allowing, supposing the means they use to be ever so innocent, "fall into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition."
