Proverbs 12:28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death. I. RECTITUDE MAY BE COMPARED TO A STRAIGHT ROAD. It has a definite beginning, a clearly marked course, a happy termination. II. ALL IMMORALITY AND IRRELIGION MAY BE COMPARED TO BYPATHS. See Bunyan's Bypath Meadow in 'Pilgrim's Progress.' III. LIFE AND DEATH ARE THE TWO GREAT TERMINI. All the more impressive because we know not what they contain of blissful or of dread meaning: "Behold, I set before you life and death!" is the constant cry of wisdom, of every true teacher, of the unchanging gospel. - J. Parallel Verses KJV: In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.WEB: In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death. |
