Matthew 17:21 However, this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting. Every remedy is successful according to the proportion it bears to the distemper: and certainly a cure is not likely to be wrought where an ordinary remedy encounters an extraordinary disease; where the plaster is narrow and the wound broad. Temperance is good, but that is to be our continual diet; and surely, that man is not like to recover who makes his food his physic. Where the humour is strong and predominant, there the prescription must be rugged, and the evacuation violent. We must leave the road of nature when nature itself is disordered, and the principles of life in danger. (R. South, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.WEB: But this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting." |
