partakers of <strong>the</strong> divine nature, having escaped <strong>the</strong><br />

corruption that is in <strong>the</strong> world through lust." It is<br />

now your privilege, by humble confession and<br />

sincere repentance, to take words and return unto<br />

<strong>the</strong> Lord. The precious blood of Christ can cleanse<br />

you from all impurity, remove all your defilement,<br />

and make you perfect in Him. The mercies of<br />

Christ are still within your reach if you will accept<br />

<strong>the</strong>m. For <strong>the</strong> sake of your wronged wife, and your<br />

children, <strong>the</strong> fruit of your own body, cease to do<br />

evil, and learn to do well. That which you sow, you<br />

shall also reap. If you sow to <strong>the</strong> flesh you shall of<br />

<strong>the</strong> flesh reap corruption. If you sow to <strong>the</strong> Spirit<br />

you shall of <strong>the</strong> Spirit reap life everlasting.<br />

faultfinding. You are jealous that o<strong>the</strong>rs do not give<br />

you all <strong>the</strong> attention you think you should have.<br />

The experience founded in feeling, and savoring of<br />

fanaticism, you must not adhere to. It is unsafe.<br />

Move from principle, from thorough<br />

understanding. Search <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, and be able<br />

to give to every man that asketh you <strong>the</strong> reasons of<br />

<strong>the</strong> hope which is in you, with meekness and fear.<br />
