2 Thessalonians 2:17 Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work. When a man walketh in the sun, if his face be towards it, he hath nothing before him but bright shining light and comfortable heat; but let him once tram his back to the sun what hath he before him but a shadow? And what is a shadow but the privation of light and heat of the sun? Yea: it is but to behold his own shadow, defrauding himself of the other. Thus there is no true wisdom, happiness, comfort, but in beholding the countenance of God; look from that and we lose these blessings. And what shall we gain? A shadow, an empty image of ourselves instead of the reconciled face of God. (J. Spencer.) Parallel Verses KJV: Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.WEB: comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word. |
