Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Witness is hereby given to Christ that he is living, of him it is witnessed that he liveth ( Heb. vii. 8 ), and it is the comfort of all the saints, I know that my Redeemer liveth; for because he lives we shall live also.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
