Hebrews 3:10-11 Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.… In every man's heart there is this triple root of sin; no one who knows his own heart will dispute it; the root of selfishness, from which spring self-indulgence, self-will, self esteem, and the whole brood of vanity and pride; the root of worldly-mindedness, which issues in ambition, in covetousness, in the love of money, in the desire of advancement, of honour, of power; and the root of carnal-mindedness, from which, if it be not cut down betimes, and kept diligently from shooting up again, the lusts of the flesh will sprout rankly, and overrun and stifle the soul. (Archdeacon Hare.) Parallel Verses KJV: Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. |
