The Christian Herald 2 John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have worked, but that we receive a full reward. 1. Look to yourselves, that ye lose not those gracious principles which seemed to be planted in your hearts by the Holy Ghost (Hebrews 2:1; 1 Corinthians 15:1; 2 Corinthians 6:1). 2. Look to yourselves, that ye lose not those vivid and vigorous impressions of Divine truth, which marked the early part of your Christian career. 3. Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the spirit of secret prayer, and proper seasons for attending to it. The lifeless performance of this duty is generally the forerunner of open sin or absolute apostasy (Jude 1:20). 4. Look to yourselves, that ye lose not your taste for domestic duties, and your relish for the public ordinances of the gospel. 5. Look to yourselves that ye lose not the power and practical influence of the gospel upon your hearts and lives. 6. Look to your selves that ye lose not a good conscience, the favour of God, the affections of His people, the blessings of the gospel, and the eternal salvation of your souls. (The Christian Herald.) Parallel Verses KJV: Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. |
