Page 74 - Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy : who art thou that judgest another?

Page 105 - And JESUS called a little child unto him, .and set him in the midst of them, and said, ' Verily I say unto you, Except ' ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall ' not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Page 80 - The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
