Numbers 15:30-31 But the soul that does ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD… — A young man who had inherited an estate from an uncle was exhorted to seek Christ, and said that he would do so as soon as he had paid off the debts which encumbered the estate. "Young man," said the pastor, "beware: you may never see that day: whilst you are gaining the world you may lose your soul." The young heir said, "I'll run the risk." He went into the woods and was engaged in felling a tree, when a falling limb caused his instant death within a few hours of his bold presumption. Parallel Verses KJV: But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. |
