2 Thessalonians 3:9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample to you to follow us. Felix Neff, pastor of the High Alps, finding his people miserably poor, through ignorance of the proper methods of agriculture, endeavoured in vain to persuade them to a change. At length, having himself a garden at Queyros, he determined to plant it with potatoes. They watched him planting in the way he had recommended to them, and ridiculed what they were sure was a waste of labour. But when the gathering time came, and they saw him turning up plants with sixty tubercles, they begged that he would teach them next season to do the same. (J. F. B. Tinting, B. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. |
