Galatians 4:18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you. The Hebrews have a saying that God is more delighted in adverbs than in nouns; 'tis not so much the matter that's done, but the matter how 'tis done, that God minds. Not how much, but how well! 'Tis the well-doing that meets with a "Well done!" Let us therefore serve God, not nominally or verbally, but adverbially. (Venning.)
