Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of Mrs. Miriam Phillips: Consort of His Honor William Phillips, Delivered on the 18th of May, Being the Sabbath After the Funeral By this afflicting dispensation, God has spoken to each one of us in the voice of warning. That voice it is our duty to regard, our interest to obey. That I may be instrumental in administering consolation to the afflicted and instruction to the warned, I propose - in coincidence with the scheme of thought suggested by the text - to consider in the present discourse, I. The character, and II. The end of the righteous. "Mark the perfect man! and behold the upright! for the end of that man is peace." I. The terms ´perfect´ and ´upright´ are not to be considered as indicating distinct and different traits of character, but - in accordance with a mode of speech very common among the Hebrews - as a repetition of the same thought in different but synonymous language, for the purpose of explication or of exciting attention, "Mark the perfect man! behold the upright!" Either of these epithets may therefore be taken as fully expressing the character which the writer intended to exhibit. What then are we to understand by a perfect man? In what sense do the Scriptures ascribe perfection to men in the present state? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
