Higher or lower. 2. Assigned by the Great Head. 3. For which he is specially qualified. 4. Therefore responsible. II. SHOULD MAGNIFY IT. 1. Not by glorying in it, but by rightly appreciating it. 2. Not by assumption, but fidelity. 3. Not by despising others, but encouraging them. (J. Lyth, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall?
