On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It is sure, and therefore we must trust to it and venture our souls upon it. God in his word, God in his promise, is a shield, a sure protection, to all those that put themselves under his protection and put their trust in him. The word of God, applied by faith, will make us easy in the midst of the greatest dangers, Ps. xlvi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

"Lord, give me pardon, and peace, and grace, before I die, before I go hence and be no more; for, if I be not renewed and sanctified before I die, the work will not be done after; if I do not prevail in prayer before I die, prayers afterwards will not prevail, no, not Lord, Lord. There is none of this wisdom or working in the grave.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Add . . . words--implying that his sole reliance was on God's all-sufficient teaching. reprove thee--or, "convict thee"--and so the falsehood will appear.
