Page 141 - But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Page 141 - For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him ? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God ; that we might know the things which are freely given to us of God.
Page 252 - Bleffing, and honour, and glory, and power be unto him that fitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Page 21 - And what thou art to follow, what to fly, This to condemn, and that to ratify ? When to be bountiful, and when to fpare, But never craving, or opprefs'd with care ?
