The Christian Galatians 5:7 You did run well; who did hinder you that you should not obey the truth? Cecil says that some adopt the Indian maxim, that it is better to walk than to run, and better to stand than to walk, and better to sit than to stand, and better to lie than to sit. Such is not the teaching of the gospel. It is a good thing to be walking in the ways of God, but it is better to be running — making real and visible progress, day by day advancing in experience and attainments. David likens the sun to a strong man rejoicing to run a race; not dreading it and shrinking back from it, but delighting in the opportunity of putting forth all his powers. Who so runs, runs well. (The Christian.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?WEB: You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth? |
