The Cause of Despising
1 Thessalonians 4:8
He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given to us his holy Spirit.


As they who are displeased with all things that profit them not; or as a blind man, who, groping by the walls of a fair house, doth find fault with the windows because they are not so smooth as the walls; even so, such are they that find fault with the Scriptures because they show the spots as well as the beauty, the vice as well as the virtue.

(W. Cawdray.)
