But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition, Matt. xv. 4—6. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God, Lev. xix. 3.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law, Rom. xiii. 8-10. VER. 19.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith,it saith to them that are under the law that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all, and upon all them that believe for there is no difference = For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God, Rom. iii. 19-23. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died, vii. 9.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness, Ezek. xxxiii. 31. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God, Eph. v. 5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry, Col. iii. 5. VER. 23. Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπε τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὑτοῦ· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι δυσκόλως πλούσιος εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, a That a rich man shall hardly benter into the kingdom of heaven. a And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten, and be full; Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, Deut. vi. 10-12. If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence ; If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand hath gotten much, Job xxxi. 24, 25. They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; None of them can by give to God a ransom for him, Psal. xlix. 6, 7.

And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Mark x. 23. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid eat, drink, and be merry. But God up for many years; take thine ease, said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God, Luke xii. 1521. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him, xvi. 13, 14. And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! xviii. 24. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called, 1 Cor. i. 26. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows, 1 Tim. vi. 9, 10. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is brought low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it per : isheth so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways, Jam.i. 9-11. But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment-seats? ii. 6. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth, v. 1—4. you See on chap. iii. ver. 2. clause 2.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil, Jer. xiii. 23. And the disciples were astonished at his words.

It is easier for a carmel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, Mark x. 24, 25. A. D. 33. For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God, Luke xviii. 25. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? John v. 44.

Εμβλέψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Παρὰ ἀνθρώποις τοῦτο ἀδύνατόν ἐστι, παρὰ, δὲ Θεῷ πάντα δύνατά ἐστι. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; a but with God all things are possible. a Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son, Gen. xviii. 14. And the LORD said short? thou shalt see now whether my unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed word will come to pass unto thee or not, Num. xi. 23. I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee, Job xlii. 2. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh is there any thing too hard for me? Jer. xxxii. 27. Thus saith the Lonp of hosts ; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts, Zech. viii. 6. And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God for with God all things God nothing shall be impossible, are possible, Mark x. 27. For with Luke i. 37. And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God, xviii. 27. VER. 27.

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain, lxvi. 22. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness, 2 Pet. iii. 13. And he that sat upon the throne, said, Behold, I make all things new.

And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the hea ven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and anbook of life : and the dead were judged other book was opened which is the out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire, Rev. xx. 11-15. c And he said unto her, What wilt thou?
