Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver, ix. 6, 7,

Ἐγὼ γὰς δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα καὶ σοφίαν, οὐ δυνήσονται ἀντειπεῖν, οὐδὲ ἀντιστῆναι πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι ὑμῖν.

a For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

[For it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you, Matt. x. 19, 20. But whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye : for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost, Mark xiii. 11.]

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake, Acts vi. 10. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee, xxiv. 25. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian, xxvi. 28. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion, 2. Tim. iv. 16. 17. *..

Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy, v. 7-11. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, Rev. i. 9. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them' liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted, ii. 2, 3. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee

1 In your patience possess ye your souls. To them, who, by patient continuance in well doing, seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life, Rom. ii. 7. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus, Rom. xv. 4, 5. And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ, 2 Thess. iv. 5. For ye have need of patience; that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise, Heb. x. 36. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing, Jam. i. 3, 4. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the Judge standeth before the door. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for

shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth, iii.10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints, xiii. 10. Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus, xiv. 12.
