Matthew 5:25 Agree with your adversary quickly, whiles you are in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver you to the judge… 1. The Lord warns us to make our Christian peace in time. 2. To take care that our sacramental offering of charity and forgiveness be not delayed. 3. Lest our adversary be no more in the way with us; lest, among the many partings of this world, we lose sight of him for ever. 4. And that on the ground of God's awful judgment. 5. For to Him the unreconciled quarrels of this world must be referred. 6. He will exact the uttermost farthing of His own incalculable debt from those who have been unkind and unforgiving to their fellow-servants. (G. Moberley, D. C. L.) Parallel Verses KJV: Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. |
